Production
During the production of Shruthi (1990), Madras-based badminton player Vishwas came to Dwarakish's house in search of film opportunities.[2] He was rechristened as Harshavardhan since Dwarakish had a rift with Vishnuvardhan and wanted to introduce competition while Maria was rechristened as Nithya.[3][2] M. P. Shankar and Vajramuni were selected to play important roles.[2] Part of the film was shot in Mysore.[2]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by S. A. Rajkumar.[4]

Release
Film directors S. Siddalingaiah, Chandulal Jain and B. M. Venkatesh appreciated the film in a screening before its release. Since the film's producers and the people who watched the film during its premiere felt that the film would be a success, Dwarakish did not sell the film's rights to anyone.[2] However, the film was an unexpected failure.[2][6] Dwarakish cited casting newcomers as a possible reason for the film's failure but said in an interview that he appreciated working with them.[2]
