Development
In late December 2021, news came out that Rajkumar Periyasamy would work with Sivakarthikeyan for his next movie. This movie would start after Sivakarthikeyan finished working on his film with Madonne Ashwin, which later became ‘Maaveeran’ in 2023. Then, on January 15, 2022, Kamal Haasan officially announced the project. He’s producing the movie with R. Mahendran under Raaj Kamal Films International and Sony Pictures Films India. They were thinking about Harris Jayaraj, Anirudh Ravichander, and G. V. Prakash Kumar to create the music, but on May 3, 2023, they confirmed Prakash as the composer. They had a special ceremony called ‘muhurat puja’ on May 5 in Chennai with the movie’s cast and crew.
Casting
In April 2022, people considered choosing Rashmika Mandanna or Sai Pallavi for the leading actress role in a movie. On May 9th, they said Sai Pallavi would be in the movie, acting alongside Sivakarthikeyan for the first time. Lallu got an essential part in the movie, the second time working with Periyasamy after they both did a film called Rangoon in 2017. Rahul Bose will be the main bad guy in the movie, working with Sivakarthikeyan and Periyasamy for the first time. While filming in Puducherry, a picture of Sivakarthikeyan, Sai Pallavi, and their on-screen daughter got leaked online. This revealed that Sivakarthikeyan will play a father’s role and Pallavi will play a mother’s role in the movie.
Filming
Filming for the movie started on May 5, 2023, in Kashmir, but had to stop in the middle of May because something important was happening there. They started filming again in May and finished that part by September 1. Then they started filming in Chennai on October 21 and later in Pondicherry on November 9. They went back to filming in Puducherry by late November and had finished about 80% of the movie.
Music
G. V. Prakash Kumar made the music for the movie. It was his first time working with Sivakarthikeyan and Rajkumar to create the movie’s songs and background music.
