Production

P.S. Arjun began writing the script of ‘Amutha’ in 2016. He wrote the introduction and climax part first and then added multiple story-lines. Even though the script ‘Amutha’ was initially written for Tamil, it was in discussion to be made in Malayalam with Lena as the lead character. However, the production company decided not to proceed, stating that the script contained too much violence, and this resulted in the script returning to Tamil.[4]

P.S. Arjun had done an English short movie called Zugzwang on a budget of Rs 25,000. Sriya Sree, who dons the central character of the movie, was a part of the short movie also. It is Sriya Sree who referred P.S. Arjun's name to Shafeeq AKS. Impressed by the quality of the short movie he went on to produce Amutha[6].

On the title, P.S. Arjun states, “The title-character name is inspired from the name of the lead character of Mani Ratnam's Kannathil Muthamittal. I wanted a character name, which is not common yet, quite familiar”.[1]

Arun Gopan was roped in as the music director, and G.Ra as the lyrics writer. He had two songs in the Telugu movie Ninnu Kori, under the music direction of Gopi Sunder. The songs were well-received and he got a lot of applause too. "The film is shot without much compromise on the technical side. It’s a great start with a fine team and an even finer movie. I love out-of-the-box concepts. I believe this film will be relished by the audience,” says Arun Gopan.[7]

Soundtrack

The film's soundtrack and score are composed by Arun Gopan and lyrics are written by G.Ra.[7] The single of the movie 'Konjam Sirikkirean' was launched by Aishwarya Rajesh on 3 September 2018. The soundtrack album consisting four tracks were released on 20 September 2018.
