Manju Malini as Gajalakshmi Prithviraj as Parameshi's father Vishnuvardhan as Himself (Guest Appearance) Soundtrack The film's soundtrack was composed by the famed duo Rajan–Nagendra. Production The film was shot in a Vatara (housing complex), in Sheshadripuram, Bangalore. One of the more memorable scenes involving the painting of the house has a funny story behind it. Originally, it was meant that the whole vatara was to be painted. But due to a low budget, this was not found feasible and in order to make it sound reasonable through the plot, the scene where Ganesha brings a dog and punishes it by calling it "Ramanamurthy" was modified. In the modified scene, the house-owner Ramanamurthy, feeling insulted by Ganesha's actions, agrees to Ganesha's demand for fairness and decides not to paint his own house nor any of the other houses.
