Azhagan Selva who worked as a former associate to film director Karu Pazhaniappan made his debut directorial venture through this project.[2] Debutant Arjjun Udhay was chosen to play the male lead role and Malavika Wales was roped into play the female lead role, which marked her first Tamil feature film.[3] This movie was supposed to be the first Tamil film release for Malavika as it was slated for 2013 release before the releases of her other projects including Enna Satham Indha Neram and Arusuvai Arasan in 2014.[4] The production of the film commenced in 2012 and was reported to have completed its post production status in 2013. However the release of the film was delayed due to financial troubles for six years. The film then initially announced to have its theatrical release on 3 August 2018 but was again postponed due to censorship issues before its original release on 10 August 2018.[4]

The film is set in the backdrop of the rural regions of South Tamil Nadu and most of the portions of the film were shot in Theni and Kerala.[5]
