Music was composed by Master Venu.[3] Pullayya insisted Master Venu to retain the tunes from the original film in Telugu, which Venu was not okay with. He expressed his concern to Pullayya's wife Santhakumari who encouraged him having faith in talent. Except for the song "Vennela Reyi", other songs were retained from the original. "Vennela Reyi" was the replacement for the song "Naalam Naalam". This tune was retained despite Pullayya expressing his anger for using a new tune.[4]
