Madhu Chandra, who made his debut as a director with the 2012 Kannada film Cyber Yugadol Nava Yuva Madhura Prema Kavyam, announced of directing Vascodigama in early 2013.

[1] Ashwin Vijaykumar, then recently graduated with an MBA degree, told Bangalore Mirror of his plans of having wanted to enter cinema for two years which materialized with Vascodigama.

[5] Niranjan, who is well known for his role as Thiruna on the Tamil serial, Azhagu (TV series) makes his debut in this film.

Whether or not they agree with Madhuchandra’s point of view, this film, which also explores the rewards and challenges that come with a lecturer’s position, is sure to get parents and students thinking."

Commending on the acting performance of Kishore, he concluded writing, "The director manages to 'tell' his ideas but all the emotions that needed to be conveyed as part of the package are missing.

He wrote, "In trying to achieve his utopian ideal, Madhuchandra lets loose madness which makes for a fun watch if one leaves sense and sensibilities back home.
