The script is said to demand three female leads, and they are: Deepa Sannidhi, Ramya Barna and Aindrita Ray. Filming began on 3 March in Sakleshpura, and the film is being released on 6 October 2011. Shooting locations include the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, mainly places surrounding Udupi and Manipal.
