During an earlier interaction with the media, Arun Matheswaran spoke about directing Lokesh Kanagaraj. “This is not new to me. I have directed veteran directors Bharathiraja and Selvaraghavan sir too. Dhanush is also a director. Working with directors is easy. Since they know the film well, they quickly understand the director’s vision,” he said.

On the origin of the project, Matheswaran disclosed: “This is a story that I had always wanted to tell. I met Lokesh at a party and told him this idea. I said it would be good if we did it together. He liked the story a lot and immediately said ‘Okay’ to it. That’s how this project started. It is a gangster story. Chandra meets Parvati on his journey. The film is about how their journey progresses after that.”
