Production
editActor Vikram Shri was selected to portray the lead role as Nalla Sivam.[3] Actress Pavani Reddy was initially selected in the role of Anbu Selvi, but she quit the show before the series release, because of the opportunity of entering Bigg Boss (Tamil season 5).[4] So the team finalised Raksha Holla[5] to portray the role of Anbu Selvi. In January 2022, Raksha Holla was removed from the series by the production team due to her appearance is not fit for the role.[6] So Kavitha Gowda[7] replaced her in the role of Anbu Selvi from episodes 86.[8] Krithika Laddu was selected to play the role of Punnagai Arasi, Nalla Sivam's ex-wife, who is the main antagonist in the show.
