The film had its origin as a short film titled Maalai Neram, but Dwarakh later expanded that into a film.[1] Dhruvva of Thilagar (2015) fame and Venba, who portrayed the younger version of Anjali's character in Kattradhu Thamizh (2007), were signed to play the lead pair.[2] Dwarakh completed scripting the film in a mere 10 days, and wrapped up the shoot in 24 days.[3]
