Production
"There's a misconception that what happened to Gauri is part of the film's storyline. I want to assure you, her story is not being used for promotional purposes. Though the film is a youth romantic thriller, I named it after my sister to honour her without making her story a direct part of the film".
The film was initially titled Gauri, but was later changed to Gowri.[5] Despite the similarity in names, the film has no connection to director Indrajit Lankesh's sister, Gauri Lankesh.[6][1] Indrajit Lankesh found inspiration for the film during the COVID-19 pandemic's second wave after reading an article about a real-life incident.[7] Indrajit's son Samarjit Lankesh makes his acting debut in this film.[8] Saanya Iyer, known for her role as a child actress in the TV series Putta Gowri Maduve, makes her debut as a lead actress.[9] The film was shot in various locations including Bangalore and Chikkamagaluru.[10] In January 2024, it was announced that Saanya Iyer had completed her dubbing sessions.[11]
