Actor Diganth has already been finalised to play one important role in the film.

Diganth had played an important character in Mungaru Male and he is teamed up with Ramya in director T.N.Seetharam's Meera Maadhava Raaghava. Now, he will be getting another big break with Galipata'. Singer Rajesh Krishna who has already acted as a hero in a Telugu film and was featured in Kannada film Santhosha' directed by M.R. Ramesh will also be playing the hero's role in this film.

According to sources, the three heroines of the film have already been finalised.

Chaya Singh and Neeta of Jog Falls' fame will be playing the two other important characters in the film.

Multilingual actress Chaya Singh has also been specific about the roles she chooses to play and is currently looking forward to the release of Dinesh Babu directed Akasha Gange' which is believed to have a tailor made role for her.

Bhat has opted for Harikrishna for the music of the film. Mano Murthy, the music director of Mungaru Male has already bagged a number of offers now and is presently the busiest music director in the Kannada film industry.
