'Abhinetri' marks the first home production of actress Pooja Gandhi.
Actress Pooja insisted that 'Abhinetri' is a film about yesteryear actresses, and not just one heroine in particular. During this time rumors were rife that the movie relies heavily on an allegedly secret relationship shared between the late yesteryear Kannada actress Kalpana and late legendary Kannada director Puttanna Kangal.
