Production

Director Sunil Kumar Desai conceived the film as a multi-dimensional narrative that would juxtapose flashback sequences with linear storytelling. He stated that there are "different shades" to their characterisation of the leading pair. Vishnuvardhan was cast as a singer and showman, and Prema as a classical dancer, opposite him.

Yakshagana exponent Shambu Hegde was cast to play the father of Vishnuvardhan's character. Making his first screen appearance, he stated, "I was reluctant to accept the cinema offer because this is an unknown territory to me. Cinema and camera are all new to me. Film shooting is a new experience. Desai offered me the role of a dance teacher and a father.

It was reported that film had four dance choreographers – Ganesh Hegde, Tara, Bhanumati Rao, Chandra Mayur and Shivanand, with distinct styles. The reported added that filming would take place in Kalasa, Kudremukh, Maravanthe, Ooty, Madikeri and Bangalore.
