Abbayigaru is a 1993 Indian Telugu-language comedy drama film, produced by M. Narasimha Rao under Raasi Movies and directed by E. V. V.
Nagamani and her brother make Venkatrayudu paralyzed, consider him as a mental patient and eventually lock him in a room of the family home.
Sudha discovers that and her motherly love for Dora Babu is a ruse in an attempt to discredit the sanity of Venkatrayudu, and thus is unable to interfere with the plan Nagamani has for the family fortune to be diverted to Dora Babu's step brother Murari, the real son of Nagamani who also shares his mother's greed.
Sudha then cleverly starts exposing Nagamani's every effort and intention in a dignified manner so that her husband will not be offended.
Finally, the film concludes with Dora Babu recovering, agreeing to give up to his mother his worldly possessions and leaving home with his wife.

However, Vanisri declined the offer due to a previous dispute with Krishna's wife, Vijaya Nirmala, leading to delays.
Producers Ankapparaju Chowdary and Annaraju, who had previously collaborated with Krishna on Nagastram (1990), later showed interest in remaking the film with him, but the project did not progress.
