A remake of Milton's own Tamil film Kadugu, the film stars Shiva Rajkumar and Dhananjay in the lead roles, while Anjali, Pruthvi Ambaar, Sharath Lohithaswa, Shashi Kumar and Vinod Kumar Alva are in supporting roles.

The music was composed by Anoop Seelin, while the cinematography and editing were handled by Deepu S. Kumar and Vijay Milton.

Due to Karna's current standing and lack of proof and complaint, the police doesn't take any action.

The teacher goes to the police station to file the complaint, but is taken by the MLA's PA to Karna's celebration venue where Shivappa also arrives.

When Shivappa, Vaataapi, and the teacher go to file a police complaint, Inspector Sarang shows them that it is not necessary as Karna is now in prison.
