Coinciding with the birthday of Shivarajkumar's late father and Kannada cinema's most celebrated actor, Rajkumar, the filming began on 24 April 2013.[4] While the filming was half-complete, director D. Rajendra Babu died following a heart attack.[5] Subsequently, Chi Guru Dutt was signed in on to direct the film.[6]

Majority of the filming has been done in Bengaluru. Sporting sequences and some other portions are shot in Singapore. The film has lavishly shot sports sequences and some beautiful dance numbers. Harsha, the well known choreographer and director is involved in the dance sequences of the film.

Actor turned director Chi Guru Dutt, son of stalwart writer of Kannada cinema Chi. Udaya Shankar took over the film after the death of D. Rajendra Babu. He started work as a dedication to the legendary Kannada director. According to him, he worked as an actor under Babu in four films. Guru Dutt admits that it is an honour and a duty to complete this film. In fact, Guru Dutt feels that the film should credit Rajendra Babu as the director of Aryan, and not him. The producer, Dhruv Das, has decided that the film will credit both names as the directors of the film.

## Ramya's last feature film

[edit]

The film gains high-profile traction, because of the presence of former Member of Parliament Ramya as lead actress with century star Shivarajakumar. This is their first and possibly last such pairing.

Ramya had announced she was quitting the film industry. According to her, "it is a special film for me and I want to quit on a high." "Someday I may comeback as Shivanna's sister," she said.

On her role Ramya disclosed the heart of the film. "It was because of Geetha and Shivanna's support I was able to complete the film. When I lost my father there was hardly anyone to help me out. They stood by me and extended their support." "My early days as an athlete came to my memory and I did not need any rehearsals because I knew the track race very well," she said.[7]
