In June 2011, actor Vijayakanth
revealed that his youngest son
Shanmugapandian would be
introduced as an actor in the Tamil
film industry and began looking for
apt scripts for his debut venture. Shanmugapandian, then a Visual
Communications student at Loyola
College, Chennai , began taking
dance lessons and martial arts
practice, to get into better physical
shape before his first film.
Vijayakanth initially considered
remaking the Telugu film,
Brindavanam (2010) as well other
projects directed by K. S.
Ravikumar and Hari, but later
opted for an original script written
by Naveen, with dialogues by
Velumani. By the end of 2012, it
was finalised that Vijayakanth's
brother-in-law L. K. Sudhish would
be the film's producer and
newcomer Santhoshkumar Rajan,
would be director. The film was
launched on 12 December 2013 at
Aandal Azhagar Illam in
Saligramam, Chennai with several
of Vijayakanth's contemporaries in
attendance. Early reports
speculated that actor Vijay and
Vijayakanth himself, would play
guest roles, but speculation was
denied.
The film began its first schedule in
and around Pollachi, Azhiyar Dam,
Valparai and Anaimalai for close to
a month. The second schedule of
the film’s shoot was held in
Kumbakonam for three weeks
during when a song involving 1000
junior artistes and 200 dancers was
shot for 6 days. However during
production in September 2014,
Santhoshkumar Rajan left the
project after falling out with the
producers, complaining that there
was too much interference in the
scripting and film-making process.
Report suggested that
Vijayakanth would take over as
director, though eventually another
debutant Surendran, was handed the
opportunity. November 2014, it
was revealed that the film's shoot
was progressing in Malaysia with
two former beauty pageant
contestants making their film
debuts as the lead actresses.
Reports suggested Neha Kapur and
Shubra Aiyappa were cast as
heroines, while it was later clarified
that Neha Hinge and not Kapur was
chosen. The team later moved to
film action scenes in Thailand, with
Rocky Rajesh and Kecha
Khamphakdee signed up as the
stunt choreographers. Sound
