Directed by Hemant Madhurkar, the film boasts of an ensemble cast including Anushka Shetty, R Madhavan, Shalini Pandey, Anjali, Subbaraju and Hollywood actor Michael Madsen in pivotal roles.

In the poster, Anushka is seen holding up a brush and running her hand across a canvas. Wearing a grey coloured outfit, Anushka bears a troubled expression on her face as she paints something on the canvas. She sports a new hairdo for the film, which is revealed in the poster.
