==Trivia==

* During the shooting of this movie in Ooty, Rajkumar was attacked by about 30 unknown miscreants armed with cycle chains and razors on March 3. The Akhila Karnataka Dr Rajkumar Abhimangala Sangha (the fans association) demanded the Tamil film distributors in the city that they stop screening Tamil films until March 22 and the distributors agreed. The fact of his being roughed up has become a major issue in the state. In the welter of allegations that followed, the Janata Party and A.K. Subbiah, the Kannada Nadu chief and former BJP strongman featured prominently as the forces to blame while Subbiah said that it was the Congress(I) that was behind the episode.<ref>https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/indiascope/story/19840331-violence-in-karnataka-tamil-nadu-assumes-linguistic-colour-following-attack-on-actor-802908-1984-03-31</ref>
* Srinath being the villain in the movie had to get beaten by Rajkumar in the movie. But Rajkumar, sternly refused to beat Srinath in the climax, in spite of Srinath & Director duo Dorai-Bhagwan's repeated requests. Rajkumar was firm, saying Srinath is a dear friend and he would not want to project enmity even on screen. He was aware of the travails, Vishnuvardhan had faced, due to a mishap while shooting ''[[Gandhada Gudi]]'' and didn't want any such thing to recur. Relenting to it, Dorai-Bhagwan changed the climax, so that Srinath would fall off the cliff and die.
* Roopa Devi, who starred in Dorai-Bhagwan's ''[[Samayada Gombe]]'' was retained to star in this movie also.
* Director [[Dorai–Bhagavan|S K Bhagwan]] had revealed that he was so impressed by the climax twist of the movie ''[[Chase A Crooked Shadow]]'' that he had used it as a reference point for this movie.<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EoVx3yQc9wM&feature=youtu.be</ref>
