Production.
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 an 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.
