== Production ==

=== Development ===
D. Satya Prakash, who had earlier directed a [[Kannada]] short film called ''Jayanagara 4th Block'' got the idea of this plot when he was very impressed with a story between life and death in the [[Bhagavad Gita]]. He, along with his close friends Nagendra H S and Dhananjay Ranjan, started working on the story-line and developed a story around it. However, the script was improvised until the end of the shooting schedule. Hence, Prakash said that the screenplay was never complete. For the character, Nataraj, the person playing the character of a convict who has escaped from the jail trying to escape from death had to do a lot of preparations to go deep into the character. It was not completely decided that the lead character would be played by Nataraj. However, he started preparing for the role by losing weight and looking like a person who has not seen a shelter in months. He worked rigorously for the role. He would wake up by 5 in the morning, run 5 km, eat some almonds, and no salt or spices or sweet was included in his meal. His meal included some vegetables and 2 ''chapatis'' every day. This was his routine for 6 months. For the character he reduced from 76 kilos to 52 kilos. Dharmanna Kadur and Bimbashree Neenasam who played the role of lovers were finalized for the other lead characters later. After this, the team started travelling to various locations in search of locations.

The actor K. Jayaram, who plays the role of Ramanna, the Executioner, died before the movie release. The opening credits of the movie also have a mention of him.

=== Filming ===
The team, which included the Director of Photography, the actors and the Director, travelled over 8000 kilometers searching for locations that were needed for the production.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sandalwoodking.rocks/threads/rama-rama-re-movie-jayaram-nataraj-s-bhat-dir-sathya-prakash.6678/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161020104256/http://www.sandalwoodking.rocks/threads/rama-rama-re-movie-jayaram-nataraj-s-bhat-dir-sathya-prakash.6678/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=20 October 2016 |title=Rama Rama Re Movie — Jayaram, Nataraj S Bhat — Dir: Sathya Prakash | Shivu aDDa — Kannada Movies Discussion Forum |website=Sandalwoodking.rocks |date= |accessdate=2016-10-19}}</ref> Finally, the team decided to shoot near Bijapur region and filmed the movie for 40 days. For the first song in the movie, there was a need to shoot various landscapes like mountains, valleys, grassland/meadows/fields, Forts, Waterfalls, and Beaches. The team traveled over 2,500 km for 20 days and has selected some of the best locations in Karnataka. Since the jeep is one of the important characters, the team purchased an old jeep and altered it as per the requirement. Art Director Varadraj Kamath designed the jeep to fit in all the necessary props and production items inside the Jeep. While 90% of the movie was shot on the road near a village near the town of Vijapura(Bijapur), the rest portion was shot in studios in Bangalore.

== Music ==
The original soundtrack and background score were composed by Nobin Paul & Songs were composed by Vasuki Vaibhav and all the lyrics have been penned by Satya Prakash. The soundtrack album was released on 2 September 2016.
