"Kariya" marked Prem's directorial debut, preceding his film "Excuse Me."

Some scenes featuring these criminals were filmed in locations where they had previously committed crimes. Darshan, who made his debut in the crime film "Majestic," was cast in the lead role, while Abhirami, daughter of actress Anuradha, was chosen for the female lead.
