Now the makers have released the first look poster and also announced Aake as the title officially. Chiru Sarja and Sharmila Mandre are playing the lead roles. KM Chaitanya has developed the story of Ashwin into a feature film script.

Big news from the makers is that Bollywood studio Eros International is venturing into Kannada film industry for the first time with this film. Eros International is producing the film in association with KS Dreams and Nakshatra.

Gurukiran has been roped in as the music director. This will be Guru's first association with KM Chaitanya. We hear that the background score is vital for this film and that is the reason for roping in Gurukiran, who is known for his background score.
