Produced by Sudarshan G, Ramamurthy H R, and Harish Sherigar, the film's music is scored by Ramchandra Hadapad. This movie is influenced by a 2015 Hollywood movie, The Intern, starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. Anant Nag, Radhika Chetan, and Gitanjali Rai feature in the main roles. P K H Das is the cinematographer of the film[1] under the banner of ACME Movies International.
The title for the film, which is a proverb in the Kannada language, was suggested by Anant Nag, who was cast to play the lead role. The director, Narendra Babu, revealed that the title Kallu Sakkare Koliro was titled before Nag recommended Hottegagi Genu Battegagi after reading the script. Babu added that the difference in ideas between the two generations was set as the film's theme and is portrayed by an aging man employed at a corporate company and his young female boss.[2][3]
