The film was shot at the temple town of Kukke Subramanya, Sakleshpur, Kuduremukha and Yadiyur, all in Karnataka state.
Soundtrack
The soundtrack totally consists of 6 songs out of which 4 are composed by Manikanth Kadri and remaining two are by E. S. Murthy. The audio launch was held on 14 March 2009 at a hotel in Bangalore. The first print of audio CDs and Cassettes created a controversy by wrongly crediting the song "Marali Mareyagi" to Bollywood singer Shreya Ghoshal in the place of Anuradha Bhat. Music composer Manikanth Kadri blamed the Anand Audio company for this error while the company owner put the error on the producer of the film. Upon release, the soundtrack was immensely popular and was on top of the charts for many weeks. "Marali Mareyagi" and "Ale Aleyo" songs were very well received.
