Soundtrack
editThe soundtrack of the film was composed and lyrics written by Hamsalekha.[1] The audio was released by Lahari Music. The song "Prema Baraha" inspired the name of a 2018 film, and the song was reused in the film.[2][1] Coincidentally, Aishwarya Arjun, who stars in that film, was born during the making of the song.[3] Arjun called the song one of his favourites and keeps it as his caller tune.[4]
