Making
Ullasa Utsaha is the remake of the recent Telugu hit, Ullasamga Utsahamga. The hero Yasho Sagar, a Kannadiga by birth recommended Ganesh to be the hero of the remake. Ganesh felt it was a tailor-made role for him and agreed to act. The film later ran into some trouble when papers reported that its heroine Shraddha Arya dropped out of the film three days into the first schedule due to personal reasons. However, the producers and Ganesh maintained that she was never involved with the film. For a short while the film progressed without a heroine. A few weeks later Yami – a television artist from Chandigarh – was cast. GV Prakash, who scored the original film, will also be scoring the remake.
Box office
The film was an average grosser at box office by completing 25 days.
