Cast

Production

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. Chalapati Rao, who was doing negative roles, was given a soft role as father of the heroine. 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.[2]
