Production

Eedu Jodu was produced and directed by K. B. Tilak under Anupama Films, and written by S. R. Pinisetty. [1] Cinematography was handled by V. V. Ram Chowdary, and editing by C. H. Venkateswara Rao. [2] The film was the debut of Manimala, who played Sobha, in Telugu cinema. While some scenes were shot at Narasu Studios and Prasad Productions, Eedu Jodu was predominantly filmed in a bungalow owned by Tilak's friend, Ch. Subbarao in Nungambakkam, Madras. The song "Idhemi Lahiri Idhemi Gaaradi" was filmed at Mahabalipuram, and K. S. Prakash Rao directed the song "Pancharu Pancharu Pancharu" at Tilak's request as Tilak had other commitments. When Tilak contracted fever, he asked his friend Pratibha Sastri to direct a scene picturised on Venu (Jaggayya) and Santha (Jamuna) to avoid production delays; Sastri agreed, and completed a day's work. A scene where Lakshmipathy (Gummadi) asks Santha to remove her mangala sutra was found to be objectionable by G. P. Sastry of the Censor Board, so it was removed and replaced with a divorce scene.

The soundtrack was composed by Pendyala, and the lyrics were written by Aarudra. [3]
