The filmmaker J. Sabarish initially planned to cast Riythvika in the lead role but he later changed his mind after noticing Riythvika taking part in the second edition of Bigg Boss Tamil.

The film initially supposed to have its theatrical release in July 2020 but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The filmmakers later confirmed the theatrical release of the film on 26 February 2021 and unveiled the official trailer of the film on 29 January 2021.[3][8][4] It also marks the posthumous release of actress V.
