Production
The film began production in 2007 when Diganth had no offers after the shoot of Gaalipata. Urvashi Solanki, a Gujarati, debuted in Kannada through this film.

Although shooting was completed, the film remained unreleased. The director Shivaraj Hoskere and producer Ravish clashed when the director wasn't paid and his name was omitted from posters.

The music was composed by C R Bobby, who previously worked for Black (2009). The audio was released under the Aditya Music banner. Urvashi Solanki was not present at the audio launch. The lyrics were written by Doddarangegowda, V. Nagendra Prasad, Jayant Kaikini and Shivaraj Hosekere.

A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "Shivaraj is a sensible director, but his narration gets patchy at times. But the rest of the film can be easily missed". After the release of Kaanchaana (2011) the following week, this film was removed from theatres.
