It features an ensemble cast consisting of Ganesh, Anant Nag, Rajesh Krishnan, Diganth, Daisy Bopanna, Neethu and Bhavana Rao. The plot revolves around three friends who, debilitated of city life, decide to spend some time in the paternal house of one of them, at a picturesque location atop a hill station.

Production

Following the release of Mungaru Male in December 2006, Yogaraj Bhat began working on the story for his next film, in January 2007. The film was announced in early June 2007 with Suryaprakash Rao producing it.

Revealing that the story revolved around three parallel male leads, Bhat announced that Diganth and singer Rajesh Krishnan were signed as the two main leads. Diganth had appeared in Bhat's Mungaru Male in a cameo and Krishnan had till then appeared in only one Kannada film as an actor. Bhat then announced of having cast Puneeth Rajkumar to play the other lead on 6 June.

Despite the beginning of principal photography being scheduled for 22 June 2007, it began on 12 June. It took place at Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bangalore, when a part of the film's title song was shot. Director N. Lingusamy clapped the first shot while actor Sudeep directed it. Speaking to the media on the film's plot, Bhat said, "It's about three youngsters, their angst and ambitions.

By early August, about 25 percent of the shoot was complete, following which certain sequences were filmed in Sakleshpur. A major portion of the shoot took place in the misty hills of Mandalapatti, at the forest limits of Pushpagiri, in the Coorg region of Karnataka.
