On the way, a military person takes the duo to the house of Major Chandrakanth and orders them to tend to his wounds.
Charlie, a crime boss and terrorist, attacks Chandrakanth's house and brutally inquires about his daughter as Charlie's daughter was adopted by Chandrakanth. Bond Ravi helps Chandrakanth by knocking out Charlie, but Charlie escapes. Ravi and Meera, revealed to be Chandrakanth's daughter, grow closer and they begin a relationship. While looking for his daughter, Charlie kills Divya as he assumed her to be Chandrakanth's daughter, but Chandrakanth reveals that Divya is actually Charlie's daughter.
An enraged Charlie kidnaps Meera to make him understand the pain of losing his daughter. Ravi learns about this and interrogates Charlie's subordinates about his hideout.

Harikrishna as music composer, Shashidhar Adapa as art director, Sathya Hegde as cinematographer and Imran Sardhariya for dance choreographer. There are five songs in the film, with lyrics penned by Yogaraj Bhat, Jayanth Kaikini and Kaviraj.
Filming
The film was shot in Bangalore, Coorg and Kanakapura, with two songs shot in Spain among the fanfare of locals to watch the song and dance.
Soundtrack
The music was composed by V. Harikrishna and was released by Anand Audio. Yogaraj Bhat had revealed that the song "Yaaralli Soundu Maadodu" from Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari was supposed to be the title track of the film.

Reception
Anna Bond received mixed reviews from critics with praise for its acting, cinematography, music and action sequences, but criticised its script.
Critical response
The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Director Suri has chosen good action with a romantic touch, with Puneeth Rajkumar at his best." Srikanth Srinivasa of Rediff gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Anna Bond is wholly an action film despite a prominent romantic track in the film."
The Hindu wrote "Anna Bond satiates Puneeth Rajkumar's fans with thrilling action, lavish dances, picturesque locations and the star's omnipresence, but it disappoints those who expect Suri's signature style." The New Indian Express wrote "Soori has concentrated more on the technical aspects of the film, especially in the action sequences, with lesser importance given to the storyline."
