Cast

Production

Hamsa Vijetha, the granddaughter of producer Vijaya Kumar and daughter of actor Viswavijetha, was selected to direct the script by Umesh Puranik Mata. Actor Vijay Raghavendra was initially reluctant to accept the offer to play the titular role since it would require a lot of sincere dedication and time. Later he agreed to star in the film with Shruti, Anu Prabhakar and Shashikumar also being roped in to play supporting roles. The film was shot in Gadag, Badami and Pattadakal regions of Karnataka state where Gawai used to live.

The film faced legal troubles post its shooting and was stayed from its release. The stay order was put forth by producer Maruthi Jediyavar who claimed that he had acquired the rights to do a film on the legendary musician. However, after a certain delay, the court withdrew the stay order and gave a clean chit to release the film. The initial plan to release was on 15 January 2016 which was postponed to 5 February 2016.[3]

Soundtrack

The music of the film was composed by Amara Priya. The soundtrack features 16 tracks which include a poetry compilation of Puttaraj Gawai, Basavanna, Shishunala Sharif and Amara Priya himself.[4]
