Production
Vijay Sethupathi announced that he signed the film in September 2013 in an interview to The Hindu, under the direction of first time film maker Ranjith.[3] Since Sethupathi had prior commitments, the film was supposed to take off only a year later. However, as a project of Sethupathi was getting delayed, the team chose to begin principal photography immediately, with the director telling that they had no time for pre-production but started filming since he had a cinematographer and a music director ready.[4] Gayathrie was signed on to play a violin teacher in the film, and to practice for her character she began to learn the instrument part-time.[5] In October 2014, Telugu actress Sonia Deepti stated that she had a short role in the film.[6]
Soundtrack
The film was launched on 17 December 2013.[7] After the first schedule which lasted for 26 days, 50 percent of the film had reportedly been completed.[8] Filming was held at Fortis Healthcare, Vadapalani by mid-February.[9] In June, the director informed that "about 10 -12 days of shooting" was remaining.[10]
