Production
When Rockline Venkatesh decided to remake Malayalam film Darling Darling in Kannada, he originally chose Dinesh Babu to direct the film. Babu who initially agreed to direct later pulled out from the venture after he got an offer from Usha Kiran Movies. This led Venkatesh to file a complaint against Babu at Kannada Producers Association which initially banned him but was later revoked after Babu agreed to pay penalty.[3] He was replaced by Kishore Sarja.[4]
