Rajkumar, who previously produced films like Sangrama (1987), Yuddha Kaanda (1989) and Abhijith (1993).[1] Minal Patil, who made her debut with Paris Pranaya (2003), was supposed to make her debut with this film but was replaced by Vibha Rai.[2] Jayasudha returned to Kannada cinema after many ten years She was last seen in Nee Thanda Kanike (1985).[3]
T. N. Varkey, who wanted to produce the film sent Khushbu ₹7.8 lakh (US$9,200) and she agreed to sell him her flat. Khushbu appeared in court after Varkey did not receive the flat because Shiva was using the flat as collateral security.[4]
