Development
Yogi G. Raj, a long time associate of Ganesh, had expressed to him, his intent in becoming an independent director after working with the likes of Preetham Gubbi and Harsha. The title for the film was initially Savira Janmaku, then got subsequently changed to Crazy Boy, Shokilal, Kushi Kushiyali before being finalized as Kushi Kushiyagi .[5] The director chose a remake subject as his first directorial venture and obtained the official remake rights from the producers of the original Telugu film.
Casting
Before actor Ganesh was finalized, the makers tried to rope in Puneeth Rajkumar for the lead role who could not accommodate his dates. Actress Kajal Agarwal was approached to play the character which Nithya Menen originally played.[6] However, the director roped in actress Amulya, who successfully paired with Ganesh in Cheluvina Chittara and Shravani Subramanya, as the final lead actress. Telugu actress Nandini Rai was roped in to play the second lead of a fashion designer which was played by Isha Talwar in the original Telugu version.[7]
