Production
B. Suresha announced in June 2014 of the film and said that it would be based on an article of that appeared on The Times of India in 1998, of an incident that occurred in a coastal Karnataka town in 1993. He said that he followed the story and wrote the film's screenplay. Having developed the story years ago, Suresha was unable to find film producers for a long time. To raise money, he worked as a screenwriter for TV operas for a few years.[2]
Prakash Raj, with who Suresha had previously collaborated in the 2011 film Puttakkana Highway, was cast to play a parallel lead in the film alongside Achyuth Kumar, Mandya Ramesh, Sihi Kahi Chandru. Disha Ramesh, the daughter of Mandya Ramesh was signed to play a supporting role, who made her debut in the film alongside Manu Hegde, another debutant.[3] Filming began in early-September 2014 in Udupi district, Karnataka, and was to complete in a single schedule.[4] It completed filming in November 2014.[3]
Release
Following post-production work, the film was shortlisted as one of the two Kannada films to be screened at the 7th Bangalore International Film Festival in December 2014.[5] The screening was however cancelled due to the delay caused by the Regional Censor Board in issuing the censor certificate for the film. The "U/A" (Parental guidance) certificate was however issued for the film on 15 December, also suggesting "a major cut" of 45 seconds in one of the film's sequences. The reasons cited were that the film dealt with communal issues.[6][7]
