Production
Raavi Kondala Rao wrote the story of Bhariava Dweepam on the lines of Pathala Bhairavi (1951). Singeetam Srinivasa Rao took up the direction duties and Nandamuri Balakrishna immediately accepted the film as it closely resembled Pathala Bhairavi in which his father N. T. Rama Rao played the lead role. The antagonist Bhariavudu was inspired from Nepala Matrikudu from Pathala Bhairavi. Several actors including Nana Patekar and Amrish Puri were considered for the role. However, the producer was convinced actor Malayalam actor Rajkumar was right for the role after watching him in Vietnam Colony (1992). He was given screen name Vijaya Rangaraju (to resemble S. V. Ranga Rao who played Nepali Matrikudu) for his debut in Telugu cinema.[3]
Principal photography of the film began on 23 June 1993 at the Vijaya Vauhini Studios in Madras.[3] Balakrishna plays a prince who later becomes a hunchback in the film.[6]
