Background and Development
Director Yograj Bhat had earlier dabbled in advertising and corporate films and they were critically acclaimed. His previous ventures, Mani, starring Mayur and Radhika, and Ranga S.S.L.C., starring Sudeep Sanjeev, were not commercial successes at the box office. Bhat was disappointed, and he began working on the script of Mungaru Male. He had narrated the script to Puneet Rajkumar who rejected it. Ganesh, whose first film to be released, Chellata, was a moderate success, was involved in the script making stage and was curious to act in the movie. He liked the script and introduced Yograj Bhat to producer E. Krishnappa who was Ganesh's acquaintance. Krishnappa agreed to finance the film, since he knew Ganesh. Since Yograj Bhat was unable to cast well-known Kannada actresses, he signed on a relatively unknown actress, Pooja Gandhi, for the lead female role in the film.
