V. Raghu.[6] The film was shot in Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai.[7] The film's plot begins in a coffee shop.[8] Hindi actress Moushmi did an item number in the film.[9] The film was shot for only three days in Bangalore. As a result, the Kannada version stopped production midway after the Karnataka Film Chamber Of Commerce found out that the film was dubbed from Telugu and that more than fifty percent of the film was not shot in Karnataka.[10] [11] [12] For the Tamil promotions of the film, Shashank was referred to as Shasha and Bianca Desai was referred to as Priyanka.[13]
