I am playing a cop after four years and I always remember my grandfather who was a CID in the erstwhile [[Kingdom of Mysore\|Wodeyar kingdom]], whenever I wear the uniform. Perhaps, that explains my love towards wearing the police colours." He added that the film was about a father-son relationship that runs into rough weather following small misunderstandings. It was announced that he would play the father and [[Naveen Krishna]], his son. It was revealed that [[Bhanupriya]] was cast opposite to him, and that [[Avinash Yelandur\|Avinash]] would play the role of a Home Minister, [[Ramesh Bhat]], a trusted friend and [[Chi. Guru Dutt]], a trouble shooter to Vishnuvardhan's character.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Srinivasa \|first1=Srikanth \|title=Vishnu as Kadamba \|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/sep07/ent5.asp \|access-date=26 March 2026 \|newspaper=Deccan Herald \|date=7 September 2003 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030911111354/http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/sep07/ent5.asp \|archive-date=11 September 2003}}</ref>

			== Critical reception ==
			A critic from ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' wrote that "Producers M B Babu and Kamalakar who made successful films like Soorappa and Kotigobba have tried to do a mishmash of Vishnu’s earlier films to relieve him of his feudal lord image but at the same time give him a macho image through the film".<ref>{{Cite web \|url=http://archive.deccanherald.com/Deccanherald/jan182004/mr2.asp \|title=Kadamba \|last=Srikanth\|work=[[Deccan Herald]] \|access-date=25 March 2014 \|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140325065406/http://archive.deccanherald.com/Deccanherald/jan182004/mr2.asp \|archive-date=25 March 2014 \|url-status=dead }}</ref> A critic from ''[[Chitraloka.com]]'' wrote that "Here in this neat package for family and fans this director gives a trouble free film.
