Initially, the team considered a local Kannada director, but ultimately chose Pavithran, marking his debut in the Kannada film industry.[2][3] Jai Prakash Reddy who is known for his performance in Whatsapp Love (2019), was cast alongside Meenakshi Dinesh, who is known for her works in Journey of Love 18+ and Iratta marks her debut in Kannada cinema.[4][1] Kyasinakere village was chosen as the filming location for scenes featuring dogs, after the crew identified it as a suitable site with local dog owners.[5] The film was shot across various locations in Karnataka, including Shimoga, Davanagere, Hubli, Bangarapet, Kolar Gold Fields, Bangalore, Channapatna, Kolar, and Bagalkote. Additionally, scenes featuring dogs were filmed in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu.[6] The cinematography was by Rishikesh, while the editing was handled by Sri Crazy Mindz.[1] The film received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification.[6]
