A week later, reports carried news of Rachita Ram having replaced Amulya as the female lead.

[8] However, reports in early May 2014 finalized that Aishani Shetty would be playing the female lead, following Ram's commitment to another Kannada film Dheera Rana Vikrama.

[11] One among Ragini Dwivedi, Neethu and Nikita Thukral were speculated to play the supporting female lead, opposite Jaggesh.

[19] V. Harikrishna composed the background score for the film and its soundtrack whose lyrics were written by Yogaraj Bhat and Jayant Kaikini.

Shyam Prasad S. of Bangalore Mirror reviewed the film, rated it 3/5 and wrote, "With Vaastu Prakara, Bhat breaks his style of film-making that focused excessively on characterisation and hardly on the story.

"[23] Muralidhara Khajane of The Hindu felt that Yogaraj Bhat, who keeps stakes high when he makes a film, had his "magic missing".

He concluded writing, "With few good songs, and Jaggesh being the only saviour, Vaastu Prakara lacks Yogaraj's usual magic.

This apart, the supporting cast of Sudharani, Anant Nag, Sudha Belawadi, and T N Seetharam play their parts to perfection.

"[26] Shivrajkumar from Nam Cinema put up a Kannada review which concludes that "though there is good message of Yograj Bhat telling to shun the walls of ego/doubtfulness in mind is the actual Vaastu needed for humans, the screenplay lets down at places" [27] The film opened strongly at the box-office and collected ₹3.78 crore (US$440,000) at the end of three days from release.
