The makers of the film wanted Radhika, who played Shiva Rajkumar's sister in Thavarige Baa Thangi (2002) and Anna Thangi (2005) to play his sister in this film. However, she was unable to play the role because she had quit films.[2] Malayalam actress Meera Jasmine was brought in as her replacement, marking her return to Kannada cinema.[3]

Reception

[edit]

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "It's Shivarajkumar's show all the way. The ace actor, with his brilliant acting, brings to life an otherwise dull film".[5] A critic from Sify wrote that "The commercial elements and sentiments are in over dose and if the film needs urgent trimming. The graphic update is very well synchronized in the film, where the lead actors have scored".[6] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "The movie could have been better but for the cliched formulaic story, regressive posturing and dragging narration".[7]
