Production

The chase scenes required the stuntmen in the costumes of police chasing the protagonist who is being saved by his friends(Shobharaj driving the ambulance with Nirosha and Tennis Krishna inside the Tempo Traveller van with Devaraj in unconscious state). The stuntmen Shivakumar and Ravi had to jump upon a double decker bus of the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (then BTS) but something went wrong which resulted in serious injuries of the crew.[4][5] This stunt was shot in M G Road, Bangalore near Barton court. Around 70 motorcycles and 30 jeeps were involved in the action scenes. Most of the motorcycles used were Yezdi Roadking and Oil King motorcycles.

The music of the film was composed and lyrics written by Hamsalekha.
