Filming

In November 2016, it was reported that the official launch for the Darshan's 49th venture with director Prakash would begin on 9 December 2016.[7] Prakash, who was busy in the preproductional work, had already finalized the main technicians for the film. His brother-in-law Dushyanth who had earlier produced Milana and Shree was roped in to produce the film. Since Darshan was involved in the shoot for his previous venture, Chakravarthy, the team made the elaborate arrangements for the film to officially begin. The second schedule of the shoot took place in Malaysia. Following this, for some of the songs shoot, the unit moved to Switzerland and Italy.

Casting

After having worked with successful stars like Shiva Rajkumar, Puneeth Rajkumar and Vijay Raghavendra, Prakash had planned to work with Darshan and approached him with a new family entertainer script for which the actor readily agreed.[8] His brother-in-law, K. S. Dushyanth, was ready to finance the project for the third time after Milana and Shree. Actress Sruthi Hariharan was approached to play one of the two female leads in the project.[9] Newcomer Rashmika Mandanna was selected to play the second female lead role even before the release of her debut film, Kirik Party.[10] Citing dates issues, Rashmika opted out from the project and Shanvi Srivastava was replaced in her place.[11] Veteran actors Devaraj and Sumithra were selected to play the parent roles.
