The movie starred Rajkumar, Kalyan Kumar and Udaykumar - all 3 in full-fledged roles in a single movie for the only time in their career. All 3 had also worked together earlier in Gaali Gopura, however, Udaykumar only had a special appearance in that movie. Also, this is the only movie in which Rajkumar played the role of father to Kalyan Kumar and Udaykumar. This is also the only movie where Leelavathi played the role of Rajkumar's daughter.[3]
The theme of the movie was based on Vinoba Bhave's Bhoodan movement and also takes its inspiration from the novel Chomana Dudi by K. Shivaram Karanth.[4]S. K. Bhagavan had revealed that while working as an assistant on this movie, they had approached Shivaram Karanth to procure the rights of Chomana Dudi to make it into a movie. However, Karanth refused to officially sell the copyrights but permitted them to make a movie based on the story.[5]
