Cast

Production

Murali's entry into films was debated at home, but his mother encouraged his father to direct his debut film. While shooting in Malleshwaram, Bengaluru, a bystander yelled "Yeno kariya, neenu act madtiya" (What dark fellow, are you acting?).3 Although it was Murali's first film that he shot for, Geluvina Hejje (1982) was released first.4

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Rajan–Nagendra.5
