Production

The film was written by Sridhar Venkatesan, who had earlier made films such as 6 Athiyayam (2018) and Yen Peyar Anandhan (2020).

The makers attempted to release the film on 30 December 2022, and held a press show earlier that week, but the film was eventually delayed by a week owing to a lack of screens.[6] [7] [8]
