The film gains high-profile traction, because of the presence of former Member of Parliament Ramya as lead actress with century star Shivarajakumar. This is their first and possibly last such pairing.
Ramya had announced she was quitting the film industry. According to her, "it is a special film for me and I want to quit on a high." "Someday I may comeback as Shivanna's sister," she said.
On her role Ramya disclosed the heart of the film. "It was because of Geetha and Shivanna's support I was able to complete the film. When I lost my father there was hardly anyone to help me out. They stood by me and extended their support." "My early days as an athlete came to my memory and I did not need any rehearsals because I knew the track race very well," she said.[7]
