Vijay Kiragandur has produced the film under the banner Hombale films.
The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta, in her review, noted that “the movie is just a star vehicle”. She wrote, “You admire the striking cinematography, and the brown and sepia colours which suffuse the screen. But there’s really nothing more. Beat, punch, slap. Dialogue. Rinse, repeat. Yash looks capable while slashing and punching, and it helps that he has barely anything to say.”
The film also features Achyuth Kumar, Malavika Avinash and Anant Nag among others in significant roles.
