Production Ravichandran and Shilpa Shetty were earlier paired in Preethsod Thappa. Shetty agreed to be a part of the film due to Ravichandran and cameraman Seetharam. Part of the film was shot in Manipal and Rockline Studios outside Bengaluru, which was yet to be inaugurated.
Soundtrack All the songs are composed and written by Hamsalekha, who previously worked together in Preethsod Thappa and did not collaborate for a period due to an alleged feud.
