Production
Ravichandran and Shilpa Shetty were earlier paired in Preethsod Thappa.[1] Shetty agreed to be a part of the film due to Ravichandran and cameraman Seetharam. Part of the film was shot in Manipal and Rockline Studios outside Bengaluru, which was yet to be inaugurated.[2]
Soundtrack
All the songs are composed and written by Hamsalekha,[3] who previously worked together in Preethsod Thappa and did not collaborate for a period due to an alleged feud.[2][1]

Reception
A critic from Viggy.com wrote, "Ondagona Baa is a good family flick with decent music, tickling comedy, balanced mixture of happiness and sorrow. Ravichandran and Shilpa Shetty looks good without disappointing the film lovers as there was a high expectation on this combination".[4]
