Production
Krishna Vamsi ghost-directed this film and he preferred his name uncredited. Ramuji wanted to make a sequel to Money, as no sequel had happened in India. And he wanted Vamsi to direct Money Money. Vamsi expressed his reservations that he did not want to launch himself with this kind of film. Then Ramu told him that he had to direct it. So Vamsi kept a condition that Vamsi's name must not be there in the titles (ghost direction). He assured him that if he saw the finished product, he himself would ask for the credit. Then Money Money was started under Vamsi's direction. He tried all types of techniques and experimented with it. In that film he shot one song with just four shots (Kota song "Em Kompa Munagadoi") and another one with 357 shots (Chakri and Surabhi duet "Left and Right Endukanta" at Golkonda Fort). The Kota song took 6 hours to shoot and the Chakri duet took 6 days. Ramuji scolded Vamsi about his inconsistency. Ramuji gave him a choice to change his mind about the director's name. After Vamsi's refusal, Ramuji requested Siva Nageswara Rao to lend his name and it was released. Vamsi detached himself from the film.[1]
