Production
Maragadham was directed by S. M. Sriramulu Naidu, who also produced it under Pakshiraja Studios.[2] The film was based on Karunkuyil Kunrathu Kolai, a novel by T. S. D. Sami. Naidu wrote the screenplay and Murasoli Maran wrote the dialogues. Cinematography was handled by Sailen Bose, art direction by A. K. Sekhar,[3] and editing by Velusamy.[2]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by S. M. Subbaiah Naidu.[4] "Kunguma Poovey Konjum Puraavey" became a hit song. However, there is a controversy about this song. It is said that the tune for this song was composed by T. G. Lingappa for the film Sabaash Meena. However, for some reason, Chandrababu refused to sing the song for that film. Later he gave this tune to Subbaiah Naidu and it was included in this film.[5]
