For this movie, the climax was shot by helicopter, apart from that they used five cameras to shoot this climax scene. Actually it was Dwarakish's Dream to shoot Mysore from an aerial angle. He dropped that idea due to a financial crisis. But the then Chief minister Ramakrishna Hegde learned of this dream and he helped Dwarakish to do so. He called his minister Siddaramaiah to go to Mysore with a helicopter. He went with the helicopter and told Dwarakish to utilize the helicopter.
