Cast

Production

Suvarna initially wanted to make a full-length feature film on the story however the idea was dropped and was made into series.[4] The haunted house featured in the series was shot at journalist Vaddarse Raghurama Shetty's relative's house situated in Saibrakatté, Udupi.

Soundtrack

The lyrics of the title song "Dennana Dennana" were written by the director. The words "Dennana Dennana" in the song were borrowed from the Tulu epic poem of Siri Paadhdhana recited during Bhoota Kola. The song was modified by adding melodic touch which gave it an enduring and goofy feel.

It was sung by B. R. Chaya and Sadananda Suvarna.

The song became popular and was reused in the 2015 film Rangitaranga whose content was similar to the series.[5]
