Filming
On 3 November 2015 an article was published with an announcement that after the success of the crime drama film Kaddipudi in 2013, director Soori would again collaborate with actor Shivarajkumar for an action film titled Tagaru.[8] However it was reported that the film would go on floors only after both of them complete their pending projects. On 22 August 2016 the film was officially launched in Bangalore with all the lead cast being finalized. The first schedule was wrapped up on 26 November 2016.[9] The second schedule began on 12 December and was held in Mysore, Udupi, Gokarna and other coastal areas.[10] From 3 March 2016 the third schedule was filmed with actress Bhavana joining the team.[11]
Casting
After finalizing Shivarajkumar to play the lead role, producer K. P. Srikanth, a former associate of Kanakapura Srinivas, took up the project to finance. This film marks his second independent film after Shiva which was directed by Om Prakash Rao. Actress Manvitha Harish was selected to play the female lead, marking her second association with Soori after the successful Kendasampige (2015). Later actors Dhananjay and Vasishta N. Simha were roped in to play antagonist roles.[12] Dhananjay's hair style was modified to suit for the role. During the third schedule of the shooting, actress Bhavana Menon was roped in to play another pivotal character.[13] Veteran actors Devaraj and Suhasini Maniratnam were signed in to play key supporting characters with Devaraj working together with Shivarajkumar after a gap of 20 years.[14] Suhasini was selected to play the sister role to Shivarajkumar.
