Director Doss Ramasamy in his interview with The Hindu said that Nayanthara liked the film’s genre which was a crime-thriller with “a few ghost scenes”. The director also revealed that he wrote the script with a male protagonist in mind. But after the success of 2015 horror-film Maya, he changed the script to make it compatible to a female lead. “It was my mentor, Sargunam, who suggested that it would work better with a female protagonist. So, I tweaked the story with Nayanthara in mind,” he said.
Nayantara will be next seen on screen in Vikram starrer Iru Mugan, following which, Kashmora starring Karthi will have a Diwali release.
