The soundtrack was composed by Chandan Shetty, while the musical score was composed by V. Harikrishna. The cinematography and editing were handled by Vijay Milton and S. Mahesh S respectively. The film was planned to be simultaneously shot in Kannada and Telugu languages, but the idea was dropped and the dubbed versions of Telugu and Tamil languages were released, with the Tamil version titled Semma Thimiru.
