[edit]The film was announced in September 2014 to be a Kannada horror film titled Alone, but subsequently developed into a multilingual venture. Nikesha Patel was signed to play the lead role, while Kamna Jethmalani was considered for another role. Kamna was later replaced by Ineya for the second leading female role by the launch ceremony of the film.[2] Vasishta N. Simha was revealed to be playing a leading role, while M. S. Bhaskar and Singampuli were also noted to be a part of the cast.[3]
In April 2015, Simran was signed on to portray a police officer in the film, and was revealed to be making a guest appearance.[4] Sunil Shetty also reportedly worked on the film, making a special appearance as a CBI officer, but later pulled out of the commitment. Reports also emerged of a rift between actresses Nikesha Patel and Ineya during the making of the film.[5] The Telugu version titled Leela is yet to release.
