Directed by Rajaraman, Veera will be produced by Elred Kumar under his own banner, RS Infotainment. Earlier, Bobby Simha had been announced as the male the lead, with Bala Saravanan playing a key role. But Simhaa eventually walked out of the film, citing schedule conflicts. Vishnu Vishal was brought in as a replacement, and Karunakaran stepped in for Balasaravanan. However, by the time the movie began production earlier this year, Kreshna had replaced Vishnu Vishal as the male lead. Actors Mottai Rajendran, Thambi Ramaiah also have major roles in the film.
