Production
editL. G. Ravichandar pitched the film's story to a number of actors including Raghava Lawrence and Santhanam but no actor showed interest before producer Suresh Babu chose to make the film.[1] The film was announced to the media in October 2023, and promoted as the acting debut of Balaji Murugadoss, who had earlier competed in the Tamil reality television show Bigg Boss.[2] Previously, Balaji had signed on to appear for a number of projects including Tyson, Siruthai Siva and Fire, which later became stalled.[3][4]
