Production The film's script was developed by Anil Krishna while he was in Mumbai. He wanted to cast Kalyan Ram after watching a promo of his film Toli Choopulone. As Kalyan Ram was busy shooting for Athanokkade with Surender Reddy, Krishna narrated the script to various actors including Kannada film actor Puneeth Rajkumar and producer Medikonda Murali Krishna who liked the script but couldn't work on it due to date issues. It was upon his return to Hyderabad that producer Vallurupalli Ramesh Babu asked him if he were interested in narrating a story to Kalyan Ram, and the actor immediately decided to work with Krishna upon listening to the script narrated to him within one and a half hours. The film was initially titled Parthu after the protagonist, but changes were made and the title was later changed to Asadhyudu.
Soundtrack The music was composed by Chakri and released by Aditya Music. The audio launch function was held on 25 January 2006 at Annapurna studios.
