Production
Dwarakish, who had the Tamil remake rights of Priyadarshan's Malayalam film Chithram, exchanged it in lieu of Kannada rights of Mr. India after K. Balaji, the producer of Mr. India's Tamil remake, suggested him to remake the film in Kannada. Due to Dwarakish's financial situation, Ambareesh agreed to work in the film without pay. The film was completed within three months.[2]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Vijayanand.

Release
One of Dwarakish's friends, who had come for the premiere show from Madras, had an accident while riding in his Mercedes-Benz with both the driver and his relatives passing away, which Dwarakish considered a bad omen. The film failed commercially.[2]
