Production
Athiroopa Amaravathi was directed by C. V. Raman and produced by the Coimbatore-based Sundaram Talkies. Shooting took place at Sundaram Sound Studios, which later evolved into Sathya Studios.
Soundtrack
S. S. Sankaralinga Kavirayaral worked as the lyricist, and historian Randor Guy believes he composed the music too. The songs were recorded by P. K. Viswanathan. The film had 45 songs, most of which were set in carnatic ragas while others were inspired by popular Hindi film songs.
Release and reception
According to Randor Guy, the film succeeded commercially because of "the interesting adventures of the couple, the comedy scenes, and also the settings and costumes, which were done at considerable expense", despite the "predictable storyline".
