Production

Choreographer Mugur Sundar ventured into direction with this film, which features his son Nagendra Prasad and Gayathri Raghuram in her Kannada debut. Prasad's brother, Prabhu Deva, chose the story from the Telugu film Manasantha Nuvve (2001). The film was launched on 10 December 2001. Dr. Rajkumar and Puneeth Rajkumar came to the film sets as guests.[1][2] Raghuram's sister Suja and Raju Sundaram play supporting roles. The song featuring Raju Sundaram was choreographed by Prabhu Deva.[3]

Soundtrack

[edit]

The film's score and soundtrack was composed by Ravi Raj. Four songs were retained from the Telugu version by R. P. Patnaik, including "Jheer Jimbe Jheer Jimbe" which was re-arranged from Vidyasagar's original composition "Kannadi Koodum Kootti" from Pranayavarnangal (1998).[4]
