The film stars himself in lead role alongside Juhi Chawla who made her acting debut. Vishnuvardhan, Ambarish and Tiger Prabhakar made guest appearances in the film. The soundtrack was composed by Hamsalekha. The film's screenplay was adapted from the film Grease 2 released in 1982 including the tracks Back to School Again as Geleyare Nanna Gelathiyare- Hogona Collajige and Who's That Guy as Yaarivanu.
The film marked the directorial debut of V. Ravichandran. For the lead actress, Ravichandran rejected 52 girls before choosing Juhi Chawla as the heroine. Apart from composing music, Hamsalekha has also written lyrics for all songs and dialogues for the film. When Ravichandran was mulling over the theme of the film, Hamsalekha suggested him to do a musical script on the lines of Sound of Music and Grease 2.
