Shanthanu Bhagyaraj signed on to work on the project directed by Adhiroopan, an erstwhile assistant to Bala, in early 2015 and stated that he hoped the film "would resurrect his career". Athiroopan revealed that he picked Shanthanu as the script required an actor who could also dance, while also revealing that the film was based on a real-life character. Actress Srushti Dange revealed that it was the toughest role in her career, and at times, wanted to quit after being unable to sync with the director's expectations. The crew shot in places including Pollachi, Challakudy and Alleppey and only revealed the title of the project to the media in March 2016. A song featuring several actors in guest appearances was shot for close to three months in several takes at Mohan Studios in Chennai, before finishing in June 2016. Composer G. V. Prakash Kumar worked on the film despite his acting commitments, and took fifty five days for the rerecording work.

Soundtrack

Featuring five songs from G. V. Prakash Kumar, the film's soundtrack was release by actor Rajinikanth on 12 February 2017. Prior to the release of the album, a promotional song titled "Let's Go Party" was unveiled by A. R. Rahman on Twitter. Despite his busy acting commitments, G. V. Prakash Kumar had kept his word of composing music for Adhiroopan's first film, following the pair's association during the making of Paradesi (2013).
