Production
M. D. Sridhar returned to direction after two years following his previous venture Bulbul. Buguri marked his third collaboration with actor Ganesh after Chellata (2006) and Krishna (2007), both of which were commercial successes. Buguri was also Ganesh's 25th film as a lead actor.[3] Vedhika was first signed to play one of the female leads, but withdrew due to scheduling conflicts. She was replaced with Arundhati, who filmed for two days before being dropped after Sridhar felt that she did not make a convincing on-screen pairing with Ganesh. In July 2014, Richa Panai was cast as her replacement.[4] Erica Fernandes was signed to portray the other female lead opposite Ganesh.[3]
The film was launched in June 2014 at an event attended by actors Darshan and V. Ravichandran. Principal photography commenced the same month and was completed in December 2014 after an 80-day shooting schedule. For his role, Ganesh underwent training in roller skating and horse riding, with horses brought in from Hubballi for filming.[5] Darshan lent his voice for a portion of the film's climax,[6] while Srinagar Kitty was reported to have been cast in a significant role. Major portions of the film were shot in Mangaluru and Manipal, and in Malaysia. Music for the film was composed by Mickey J. Meyer.[3]
