Maduveya Mamatheya Kareyole is a 2016 Indian Kannada romantic comedy film written directed by Kaviraj in his directorial debut. It stars Suraj Gowda and Amulya in the lead roles whilst Anant Nag and Achyuth Kumar feature in supporting roles. The plot revolves around the families of the two friends who, intending to convert their friendship into a relationship, are elated when their children fall in love with each other and eventually marry upon encountering certain familial disputes.

Produced under the banner Thoogudeepa Productions, music for the film was scored by V. Harikrishna, who also composed the soundtrack. Cinematography was done by K. S. Chandrashekar and was edited by K. M. Prakash. Filming began in April 2015 and was completed in December, before releasing theatrically on 8 January 2016. It received positive reviews from critics who acclaimed the film's screenplay, and the acting performances of Nag and Kumar.

In February 2015, it was announced that lyricist Kaviraj would direct a film for Thoogudeepa Productions, a production house run by brothers Dinakar Thoogudeepa and Darshan. Kaviraj also conceived the film's story based on an incident from his family. Speaking to The New Indian Express, he said, "It was a humourous incident and I just weaved a love story around it. The incident per se is the USP of the film. While there were many stories that used to come to my mind which initially would make me feel that it had the potential of becoming a blockbuster, I would end up finding too many loopholes in it soon. But it was different in the case with Maduveya... The story grew at every stage".

The Times of India reported of Amulya's signing on 1 March 2015, and speaking of her role, she said, "I've signed this film especially because my character is very different from the ones that I've essayed until now. I will be playing a college girl, who is more of a tomboy." An audition for the male lead was conducted by the makers in Bangalore between 1–2 March, and following a total of three rounds, shortlisting over a hundred from over a thousand entrants, Suraj Gowda, who had in 2014 filmed with Kahi, was selected. Kaviraj revealed that Anant Nag, Achyuth Kumar would appear in supporting roles.
