Production

Shreelesh S. Nair got the idea to approach Vinay Rajkumar for the lead role after watching the teaser of the film Gramayana, in which the latter stars in the lead role. Stunt master Chethan D'Souza also recommended Shreelesh to narrate the story to Vinay. Upon hearing the narration, Vinay was drawn to the film due to its touch on social themes, specifically communalism and women's abuse, so he agreed to do it.

On 19 April 2021, Kaajal Kunder was reported to have joined the cast as the female lead, with filming commencing in Coorg. As of 18 January 2022, the makers had finished sixty percent of shooting, and reportedly planned to complete the rest once the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic eased up. The filming was wrapped up on 17 November 2022. The action sequences were choreographed by Ravi Verma, Chethan D'Souza, Different Danny, and Narsimha.
