The project started in October 2019 but the shoot had to be halted in view of the pandemic. Vasuki Vaibhav is reportedly on board as the composer, while Preetha Jayaram is said to have been roped in as the Director of Photography (DOP). 

Meanwhile, actor Dhananjay was last seen in a pivotal role in Yuvarathnaa, which starred actor Puneeth Rajkumar in the titular role.
