The makers of the film promise a commercial entertainer. Harris Jayaraj will be composing the music, marking his first ever project with Vijay. The director, who made his directorial debut in Kollywood with Kireedam in 2007, will be collaborating with the cameraman from his first film, Thirunavukarasu (Tirru), for this project. The film has actors AL Azhagappan and Thambi Ramaiah in supporting roles, with the project being bankrolled by Think Big Studios.
