The shoot was postponed to 2 weeks from 20 March as Sarath Kumar got hurt when he was shooting for his Kannada film[4]. The movie’s climax was shot in a village set erected at a cost of Rs 75 lakhs at Chinna Sankaran Kovil with the entire film’s cast and 500 junior artistes and 100 stuntmen taking part in it for five days. It is expected to hit the cinema halls by August, 2012.[5]

The film has Sneha in the lead pair opposite Sarath Kumar, Sneha is appearing as Muslim girl in this movie. The pair was likely to happen long back when Sneha was asked to pair with him in Jaggubhai, but she turned down the offer as she was not comfortable with it[6]. Then they were speculated to be paired in a new film which was about to be directed by a newcomer, who was an associate of Ameer, but again nothing materialised well. Then Bhavana was asked for the other heroine role, but as she was busy with her Kannada projects, she couldn't accept the offer and later was given to Sruthi Prakash.
