Title row
Director Rajendra Singh Babu had filed a case under the Intellectual Property Rights, stating that he solely owned the title of the film, which was the starting lines of his film Bannada Gejje (1990), and no other party could use it without his prior permission.[5] Also, he claimed that he had made an unfinished film with the same title starring Ambarish and Suhasini Maniratnam. However the court ruled out the case and came in favor of Ramya's decision to proceed with the title.[6][7]
Casting
The film was initially slated to be a comeback film for actress Ramya. However she later opted out of the film but still remained as the producer for the film.[8] Later, RJ-turned-actor Siri Ravikumar was cast in the role.[9]
Soundtrack
Midhun Mukundan composed the background score for the film and the soundtrack. The single "Mellage" written by Prithvi bhat and sung by Madhuri Sheshadri was released on 7 November 2023.[10] Midhun Mukundan in his interview has told that "Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye is one of my best works to date"[11]
