This is the first collaboration between Natty Subramaniam and Thambi Ramaiah.
Director Umapathy Ramaiah said, “It’s a privilege to collaborate with Kannan Ravi, whose passion for cinema makes him a true asset to the industry. This film will be an entertainer rooted in realism and humour. It’s great to have Natty sir playing the protagonist. Just a few minutes into the narration, he instantly agreed to do this film, which gave me immense satisfaction and a sense of responsibility to materialise the film as narrated. We have begun the shoot and are working towards wrapping it at the earliest.”
The film also highlights a father–son partnership, with Thambi Ramaiah writing the story and dialogues, and Umapathy directing. The technical crew includes PG Muthaiah (cinematography), Darbuka Siva (music) and Thangamani (editing).
