The film marks the directorial debut of M. Sadiq Khan, who had earlier assisted directors AR Murugadoss and N. Linguswamy in their films.[3][4] Ashwin Kakumanu was signed on as the lead actor, and the project was described as a "rural, light-hearted rom com".[5] The team started production in mid-2015, with Chandini Sreedharan joining the film to play the lead actress.[6]
In early 2016, it was revealed that Chandini had to opt out due to date issues and that Janani Iyer replaced her as the female lead of the film.[7] The shoot was completed across Tamil Nadu in areas including Pollachi and Kumbakonam.[8] Production was complete by 2017, with Janani revealing in a January 2018 interview that the film was ready for release.[9]
