This film began production in 2002 and marks the debut of Khushbu's brother Shiva and the director C. Rajkumar, who previously produced films like Sangrama (1987), Yuddha Kaanda (1989) and Abhijith (1993).[1] Minal Patil, who made her debut with Paris Pranaya (2003), was supposed to make her debut with this film but was replaced by Vibha Rai.[2] Jayasudha returned to Kannada cinema after many ten years She was last seen in Nee Thanda Kanike (1985).[3]

T. N. Varkey, who wanted to produce the film sent Khushbu 7.8 lakh (US$9,300) and she agreed to sell him her flat. Khushbu appeared in court after Varkey did not receive the flat because Shiva was using the flat as collateral security.[4]

Reception

[edit]

A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "If you catch this film on TV, you will be forgiven for deciding that Janani is from a remote part of the 20th Century".[7] V. S. Rajapur of Nowrunning wrote that "Janani is a forgettable film not even worth a one-time watch. A real tragedy because it has some very good names associated with it".[8]
