With a substantial budget, Halagali will feature detailed sets and a gripping storyline. Dhananjaya will portray a warrior, shedding light on the unrecorded struggles of Kannada heroes. The film seeks to pay tribute to the brave warriors of Karnataka who fought against British rule. Additionally, it boasts a talented technical team, including acclaimed stunt director Vikram Mor and music composed by Vasuki Vaibhav.
