It is a comedy film and a complete family entertainer. Jaggesh belongs to a lower-middle-class family. He is always under Debt. However, this trait itself will propel him to good acquaintances including his debtors who end up protecting him from even any danger he faces simply to get back their principal amount. Manja quips when asked to give up his ways, and be as his father saying it was a bore to live like a recluse if not his father. The film is shot in Melkote, which is another highlight of this movie. Aindrita & Jaggesh do justice to their roles.

Principal photography commenced in August 2014 in Melkote, Mandya district of Karnataka. Filming process had several delays and took two years for completion. The film was released on 10 February 2017 across Karnataka. It is a remake of 2010 Telugu movie Kalavar King.[3]
