However the release of the film was delayed due to financial troubles for six years. The film then initially announced to have its theatrical release on 3 August 2018 but was again postponed due to censorship issues before its original release on 10 August 2018.[6]

The film is set in the backdrop of the rural regions of South Tamil Nadu and most of the portions of the film were shot in Theni and Kerala.[7]
