Trivia
- Srinath being the villain in the movie had to get beaten by Rajkumar in the movie. But Rajkumar, sternly refused to beat Srinath in the climax, in spite of Srinath & Director duo Dorai-Bhagwan's repeated requests. Rajkumar was firm, saying Srinath is a dear friend and he would not want to project enmity even on screen. He was aware of the travails, Vishnuvardhan had faced, due to a mishap while shooting Gandhada_Gudi and didn't want any such thing to recur. Relenting to it, Dorai-Bhagwan changed the climax, so that Srinath would fall off the cliff and die.
- Roopa Devi, who starred in Dorai-Bhagwan's Samayada Gombe was retained to star in this movie also.
