Production

In February 2016, during the promotions of Ricky in Udupi, Rakshit Shetty announced that his next film would be Kirik Party and that Rishab Shetty, the director of the former, would again direct the film. He added that most of Ricky's crew would feature in the film except for Hariprriya, as the film demanded a "fresh female lead". He said that the film would be made in a budget of ₹4 crore.

Rashmika Mandanna told Indiatimes about her entry to cinema industry "The makers of Kirik Party saw a picture of mine from the Clean & Clear Fresh Face of India 2014 competition — one in which I was dancing during the college round — and approached me to act in the film. So, it really got things going. I always wanted to be in films.

Auditions were held in March 2016 for the two female leads and supporting roles in the film, in Bangalore. The makers auditioned over 400 girls and went through 2,000 profiles for the two lead roles. Rashmika Mandanna, then, a model and a student pursuing her graduation, was signed to play the first female lead in the film.

Filming began on 17 April 2016 with a muhurat shot in Bangalore. It completed in September, with the final leg of the schedule filming a "journey song" for which the makers traveled to 15 places in four states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Goa spanning 2,400 kilometers. A yellow Hindustan Contessa bearing the 3636 on the number plate was used in the film.
