Rajkumar, who like MGR, does not appear in roles requiring him to consume alcohol on-screen, refused to do such a song and hence they incorporated a sequence where he only had to act like as though he has consumed alcohol. Another song ''Ayyayyayyo Hallimukha'' was shot at HMT swimming pool even though it was raining since both Dr.Rajkumar and Bharati were supposed to go to Jaipur for the shooting of another movie ''[[Sri Krishnadevaraya (film)\|Sri Krishnadevaraya]]'' from the next day.<ref name=":1"/> The movie was made with a budget of Rs. 1.10 lakhs.<ref>{{Cite web \| title=ನನ್ನ ಬದುಕಿನ ಟ್ರೇಲರ್ \| url=https://www.prajavani.net/old-columns/belli-tereya-hinde/%E0%B2%A8%E0%B2%A8%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%A8-%E0%B2%AC%E0%B2%A6%E0%B3%81%E0%B2%95%E0%B2%BF%E0%B2%A8-%E0%B2%9F%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%B0%E0%B3%87%E0%B2%B2%E0%B2%B0%E0%B3%8D-2061954 \| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240420143210/https://www.prajavani.net/old-columns/belli-tereya-hinde/%E0%B2%A8%E0%B2%A8%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%A8-%E0%B2%AC%E0%B2%A6%E0%B3%81%E0%B2%95%E0%B2%BF%E0%B2%A8-%E0%B2%9F%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%B0%E0%B3%87%E0%B2%B2%E0%B2%B0%E0%B3%8D-2061954 \| access-date=2025-07-01 \| archive-date=2024-04-20}}</ref> This was the first Kannada movie to be sold to distributors before release.
