UK Senthil Kumar serves as the cinematographer on the project while C Sathya composes the music for the movie. The yet-to-be-titled film is produced by Ramesh P Pillai. The producer has also signed and Siddharth for a big-budget film that will be directed by Sasi. Though the release date of the Ezhil film has not yet been finalized, the actor says that it is likely to have a year-end release. “It will most probably be a festival release,” he adds.

The film has been in production for the last two years and marks the directorial debut of Bala Bhaskar. Poonam Bajwa and Palak Lalwani play the female leads while Parthiban and Yogi Babu are also part of the cast.
