Hamsa Vijetha, the granddaughter of producer Vijaya Kumar and daughter of actor Viswavijetha, was selected to direct the script by Umesh Puranik Mata.

Actor Vijay Raghavendra was initially reluctant to accept the offer to play the title role since it would require a lot of sincere dedication and time.

The soundtrack features 16 tracks which include a poetry compilation of Puttaraj Gawai, Basavanna, Shishunala Sharif and Amara Priya himself.
