Bhargava and based on the novel of the same name by Saisuthe[1] The film stars Ambareesh, Rupini, Sudharani and Anjali Sudhakar.[2] The film, produced by S. A. Srinivas, was widely appreciated for its songs tuned by Upendra Kumar and lead actors performances upon release.

The film's screenplay, dialogues and lyrics are written by Chi. Udaya Shankar. Cinematography is by B. C. Gowrishankar. It was presented by Rajkumar for Sri Vahini Cine Combines.

The director had revealed that originally Rajkumar was supposed to be the hero of the movie which was to be directed by M. S. Rajashekar. However, Rajkumar later felt a younger actor would be an ideal choice for the lead role and decided to only present the movie with Ambareesh in the lead who in turn suggested Bhargava to be the director since their earlier collaboration had been called off.[3]
