Production

After the success of their previous collaboration Simhada Mari (1997), Ramu, Om Prakash Rao and Shiva Rajkumar collaborated for second time with this venture. AK 47 was the 50th film of Shiva Rajkumar and was also the first Kannada film to have DTS sound. Director Omprakash says he was inspired to make this film by some interviews of A. Kalashnikov he had read in newspapers who lamented against the usage of the weapon and also the real-life incident of Sanjay Dutt's arrest served as an inspiration for Om who developed the complete script with writing duo called SR Brothers.[2]

Since the film was primarily shot in Mumbai, half of the film contains dialogues in Hindi language. The stunt scenes shot at Mumbai traffic costed around Rs. 1 Lakh for which Om cited that it was tough for the crew to receive permission from government to shoot.[2]
