The film was written and directed by newcomer Paarthi, who also featured in the film as lead role and served as the producer. Paarthi is a science graduate from the A C College of Technology, and then had pursued his higher studies at the Indian Institute of Science, graduating with a Doctorate in Aerospace Engineering. His work in science and his short stint as a scientist at NASA prompted him to work on his first film script.[3] [4] Actress Meera Jasmine revealed that she signed the film, despite its rookie technical team, because she was impressed with the script.[5] [6]
The soundtrack was composed by Maris Vijay.[7] [8]
A reviewer from The Hindu stated it was "a badly made film" with "simply lazy writing, and no, the message-oriented nature of the film doesn’t ameliorate it".[9] Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express wrote that "At the most, the film can be considered as a debutante’s ambitious effort to make a film different from the routine ones".[10]
