The film revolves around the efforts taken by Lakshmi (Jamuna) to maintain prosperity in her husband's (Krishna) house. Undamma Bottu Pedata was released on 28 September 1968, received widely positive reviews and became successful.
Adurthi Subba Rao bought the Telugu remake rights of the Marathi film Thamb Laxmi Kunku Lavte (1967). While writing the screenplay of the remake, titled Undamma Bottu Pedata, he retained the essence of the original's story with its climax, but made many other changes such as introducing new characters, mainly to suit the interests of Telugu-speaking audiences. Subba Rao also intended to direct the film and produce it under his banner Babu Movies, but the success of his Hindi directorial venture Milan (1967) led to him receiving more directorial offers from Hindi film producers; after accepting to direct Man Ka Meet (1969) for Sunil Dutt's Ajanta Arts, he entrusted his protégé K. Viswanath with directing Undamma Bottu Pedata. The dialogues were written by N. R. Nandi, cinematography was handled by K. S. Ramakrishna and editing by Kotagiri Gopala Rao.[1]
The soundtrack was composed by K. V. Mahadevan, with lyrics written by Devulapalli Krishnasastri.[3]
