The film is a crime thriller and marks Santhakumar’s return to direction seven years after his hit debut film Mouna Guru. Arya reportedly plays a politician’s son in the movie. The teaser which released in May was a huge hit, and saw him as a killer who seems to be out on a revenge mission, and Indhuja may also be seen as an aide.
In an earlier interview to Silverscreen, Arya said, “I’ve been waiting for a script like this for a very long time. When Santhakumar narrated the story, he had the characterisation of every single person in the film written down. What I liked most was the depth of the screenplay, and the nuances he lent the characters. Even if it does not get stated openly in the film, that nuance helps the actors perform better, and get into the skin of the character. ”
The film was launched in November 2018, and was shot in Chennai, Kancheepuram and Erode. It wrapped up in April.
