Production

Initially producer Suresh Babu offered a project to Krishna Vamsi and asked him to
narrate the story. Vamsi asked the assurance of confirming the film before
narrating the story. Suresh babu told that he will give Venkatesh's dates after the
first narration, but Krishna vamsi asked confirmation of the project before the
narration. On the other side, Ram Gopal Varma who heard the script of Gulabi from
Vamsi, decided to produce the film under 75 lakhs "As long as I control the budget
under 75 lakhs, he would not be interfering. Suresh Babu, who also expressed
interest to do the film with Vamsi had two options. One was to go for the Varma's
film, that would give me creative freedom and no interference and other one was to
go for Suresh's film where I need to prove myself. Obviously, I preferred the
choice number one". Chakravarthy and Maheswari were selected as actor and actress
respectively. Jeeva made his acting comeback with this film. Chandra Mohan was the
only senior established actor acted in this film. Vamsi said he "picked the raw
people up so that they suit our budget". Vamsi recorded the first song ("E Rojaithe
Choosano Ninnu") in Ramanaidu recording theatres, as that song a uses minimal
number of instruments, mixing and background score was also held in that studio.
Gulabi was the first movie to be recorded in Ramanaidu Recording Theaters.[3]
