Production
Sakthi Chidambaram announced that his next project would be titled Machan in February 2012 and immediately speculation arose that Namitha, who has appeared in several of the directors previous films as well as being closely associated with the title, would play a pivotal part in the film. However it was later announced that Siva Karthikeyan would play the lead role in the film alongside Dhansika, though the pair were later removed without reason. In April 2012, Sakthi Chidambaram confirmed that Vivek and Karunas would both be seen in lead roles, while revealing that Sheryl Pinto, who appeared in Arasangam and Vaadaa would play Karunass heroine in the film. The team subsequently signed on Namitha to play the love interest of Vivek in the film, marking her comeback to Tamil films after a brief period out of action. Sakthi Chidambaram announced that he would also act in the film alongside his duties as director and producer, while Srikanth Deva was signed on to score the films music. The film also marks the comeback of leading Kannada actor Ramesh Aravind in Tamil films for the first time since Manmadan Ambu (2010).
