Development and casting

After the debacle of Boxer in 2015, director-writer [[Preetham teamed up yet again with the producers Jayanna-Bhogendra duo and took motocross racing as the theme for his next directorial venture. For this film, he roped in six national champions, including a couple of them with international acclaim. He also hired Vijaykumar, a professional motocross racer of many international awards, as a team coach to help with the proceedings. For the lead roles, he selected the fresh faces Prithvi and Malayalam actress Malavika Mohanan. Prithvi, the grandson of music director G. K. Venkatesh, is an engineering graduate and is trained in acting, stunts and dancing. Charandeep was chosen to play the antagonist as another race who is opponent to Prithvi. Prakash Raj was hired to play the trainer role and father of Charandeep.

Shooting

The principal photography of the film officially began from 15 December 2015 in Bangalore behind Manyata Tech Park where a race track was being set up for the shoot. The crew consisted of some technically professional racers whom Preetham wanted the scene to "look authentic, since it is a tough sport and any cover up by the technical team will show upfront." The first schedule of filming ended at Ooty. For the climax portions, Preetham chose to shoot in Sri Lanka where two tracks are meant for the bike races.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack is composed by V. Harikrishna. The audio of the film is scheduled to release on 24 July 2016.[5]

gollark: It's weird how it went from "of course you're not being spied on constantly, what a ridiculous conspiracy theory" to "of course you're being spied on constantly, who cares".
gollark: It's the government agencies you don't know about which you should worry about most, if they existed, which they of course do not.
gollark: The NSA isn't secret, their operations are.
gollark: The NSA is constrained by law they vaguely follow to not spy on US citizens that much, so they just offload it to other allied countries.
