Murali's entry into films was debated at home, but his mother encouraged his father to direct his debut film. While shooting in Malleshwaram, Bengaluru, a bystander yelled "Yeno kariya, neenu act madtiya" (What dark fellow, are you acting?).[3] Although it was Murali's first film that he shot for, Geluvina Hejje (1982) was released first.[4]

Release and remakes[edit | edit source]
The film was a box office failure shattering Siddalingaiah's hopes.[6][7] Despite this, the film was remade in Tamil as Poovilangu (1984)[8] and in Hindi as Jeena Marna Tere Sang (1992).
