Auditions were held in and around the village of Puttur which had a massive turnout of nearly 1500 aspiring actors demonstrating their talents. The director hailed casting as a significant achievement as the entire cast of this movie consists of newcomers.

Filming

Filming began one the second week of July 2014 where the cast and crew had to constantly endure bad weather which led to having the original shooting schedule split into 4 parts over the coming months. Cinematographer Sachin Shetty Kapu decided to use shaky camera movement and multi angle shots to keep the tone of the movie true to the innocence of a child. The crew had to overcome gruelling shooting schedules in particular the dumping yard scenes which affected the health of several crew members. Production wrapped up in early November 2014.
