Production

The film, initially titled Namma UFO (Our UFO) as a working title and written by Ajay Sarpeshkar, was later renamed to Mysore Masala. Prakash Belawadi adapted the screenplay based on the original script, to help localise the film to an Indian context and ethos. Anant Nag, the veteran actor of India known for his contributions to the Kannada film industry, was signed on to play a crucial role of an eccentric journalist. Prakash Belawadi plays the role of Dr. Satyaprakash, the head of a space research agency. Sharmiela Mandre, Samyukta Hornad and Kiran Srinivas play roles that are urban and savvy. Production management was handled by Cinematrix, a Bangalore based company headed by Pradeep Belawadi.
