The film's launch and inaugural shot was shot at bus stand of Gnanabharathi campus of Bangalore University. The film was shot at a specially made college and road set behind Raja Mills in Bengaluru that cost 40 lakh rupees.

Soundtrack

Soundtrack was composed by Ravichandran. The song "Innisai Paadi Varum" from the original Tamil film was retained in this version as "Kanasugarana".

Reception

A critic from Sify wrote that "The film is a one-man show for Ravichandran, who is the writer, director, music director and hero of the film. Replete with sentimental and melodramatic scenes coupled with heart-twisting sacrifices, Oh Nanna Nalle is surely going to catch the fancy of female audience. The heroine Isha Koppikar is no patch on Simran who did both the Tamil and Telugu versions. For Kannada audience Oh Nanna Nalle is a good family entertainer but don’t forget to take a couple of hankies".
