Krishna falls in love with Sandhya at first sight and moves into the upper portion of her house as a tenant with his brother Chandra Shekar and sister-in-law.

Krishna learns about Sandhya's past, including how she is being pursued by Jakka, a notorious gangster, who wants to marry her with the support of his uncle Jayaprakash.

Following lukewarm receptions for his performance in Khatarnak (2006), director V. V. Vinayak encouraged Ravi Teja to bring a fresh and enthusiastic approach to the project.

Trisha, coming off the success of Aadavari Matalaku Arthale Verule (2007), balanced her work on Krishna alongside Bujjigadu (2008).

The song "Adaragottu" was reused from "Appadi Podu" from the 2004 film Ghilli, starring Vijay and Trisha and was composed by Vidyasagar.
