Following the triumph of “Manjadikuru” and “Ustad Hotel,” Anjali Menon revealed her next venture, initially referred to as “L for Love.” However, she later clarified that the film’s actual title was “Bangalore Days.” Anwar Rasheed and Sophia Paul were announced as the producers for the project.

Music

The soundtrack of “Bangalore Days” consists of five songs composed by Gopi Sunder. However, Gopi Sunder faced a legal challenge when he was sued for copyright infringement by Bryan Adams.
