The film also marks the entry of one of India’s leading media production and talent management companies, Noise and Grains, into film production.

Speaking about the film, Kishore Rajkumar had on an earlier occasion said, “This is a story filled with romance and humour. The screenplay is crafted to deliver a complete feel-good experience to the audience. The driving force behind this project is none other than the legendary K. Bhagyaraj sir. Film lovers feel that movies like the ones he used to direct are no longer being made — this film aims to fill that gap.”

He had added, “This lively film revolves around compatibility in relationships and places strong emphasis on the female lead. I am thrilled to be working with the incredibly talented Anna Ben. I sincerely thank Noise and Grains for giving me this opportunity.”

The film’s cinematography and co-writing responsibilities are being handled by Praveen Balu, while editing is being overseen by Ram Pandian. Both of them had earlier collaborated with Kishore Rajkumar on ‘Naai Sekar’, where actor Sathish had made his debut as a lead actor. Art direction for the film is by SriSasikumar K. Costumes have been designed by Kiruthikha Sekar and the film has S N Asraf and Naresh Dinakaran as its executive producers.
