All the songs are composed and scored by M. M. Keeravani.[2] The song Yaava Deva Shilpi was reused from Keeravani's own Telugu song Sirichandanapu from Muddula Priyudu. The song 'Ene Kannadathi' is based on Ee Nela Manadira from People's Encounter. The sequence before the song Ene Kannadathi where the hero cunningly takes lift after restarting a vehicle broken down by himself was re-used by writer V. Vijayendra Prasad for his 2015 Hindi movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
