 Principal photography began in early 1954, with both versions with different casts being shot simultaneously throughout the process. The sequence where M. T. Rao and Mary lie to each other before boarding a bus to attend an interview after being fired from their current temporary jobs was shot at the Chandamama office building. The high school set was also erected near the same building. A photograph of Nagi Reddy's younger brother and cinematographer B. N. Konda Reddy's daughter was used in the film as that of Gopalam's missing elder daughter. The sequence from Missiamma where Ganesan's character manages to persuade Savitri's character to pretend to be his wife was filmed at My Lady's Garden in Madras.
