P.Vasu who directed 'Aptha Mithra' and its remake version in Tamil 'Chandramukhi' is directing this film. A huge house in Palani has been chosen for this where 20 days shoot will be held. The shooting starts from 10th of March. Krishnakumar one of the producers of 'Aptha Mithra' is independently producing the film.

Dwarakish who was the key man in 'Aptha Mithra' as it was produced in his banner 'Dwarakish Chitra' is nowhere near the scene for the scuffle he had with Dr.Vishnuvardhana. 'Aptha Mithra' is the one that changed the fortunes of one of the senior actor, producer and director Dwarakish after 18 years.

Dr.Vishnuvardhana continues to play the role of psychiatrist and this time the head of family is veteran actor Srinivasamurthy. The role of Mantrik once again Avinash is playing. Actress Soundarya role obviously goes to a prolific dancer Lakshmi Gopalaswamy. Sneha the Tamil, Telugu and Kannada actress is also one of the three heroines.

The head of the family Srinivasamurthy is the father of three daughters and there are nearly 25 to 30 inmates in the huge palace like family of 'Aptha Rakshaka'.
