Production

It was announced in November 2014 that P. Bharathirajaa would portray the lead role in a film titled Om. Nirmalkumar was said to be directing the film with Yuvan Shankar Raja composing the music. The title was an acronym for "Old Man".[4] However, due to some reasons, Nirmalkumar left the project midway with Bharathi himself handling the direction.[5][6] After a brief period of inactivity, the film's title was changed from OM to Meendum Oru Mariyathai in October 2019.[7]
