Production
Murali signed the film before completing his previous film Yashwanth (2003). S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and Prakash Raj were initially considered to act in the film.
Murali did all the stunts himself. The first schedule was shot in Bangalore. A month later, a chase sequence was also shot in Bangalore. Hindi actor Akhilendra Mishra stars in the film. In the climax, Deepu carries a bag containing 1000-rupee notes amounting up to three crore rupees. The makers of the film received backlash since the 1000-rupee note was worth only 2 rupees in the black market.
Soundtrack
The music is composed by R. P. Patnaik.
