Dayal's favorite actor Naveen Krishna was roped in to play the lead protagonist whilst Sihikahi Geetha was signed in to play the role of a maid.
The film was officially launched on 16 November 2015 with a grand opening ceremony held at Bangalore. Naveen's father, actor Srinivasa Murthy clapped for the first shot. Many film personalities including the KFCC Chairman Sa. Ra. Govindu and actor-director V. Ravichandran were among the guests.
The film premiered at the 8th edition of the Bangalore International Film Festival in January 2016. It received huge appreciation from the audience comprising many film industry personalities.
The first promo of the film was launched at the Bigg Boss Kannada 3 by actor-host Sudeep. Later, the trailer was circulated to the online media.
