Production
In early 2015, H. Vinoth, who had directed the successful heist film Sathuranga Vettai (2014), agreed to make his next film for the production studio, Thirrupathi Brothers, who had helped distribute the earlier film. Vinoth submitted two scripts to them, including a sequel to his earlier film.[1] Soon after, Thirrupathi Brothers ran into financial difficulties and Vinoth went on to narrate the script of the sequel, to actors Ajith Kumar and Suriya, and potentially be produced by Sathya Jyothi Films and Studio Green, but neither venture materialised.[2][3]
In August 2016, the original film's producer, Manobala, came forward and decided to produce the film himself, bringing in Arvind Swamy and Trisha, to play the lead roles. Vinoth parted with his script, because he was busy working on the pre-production of another film starring Karthi, so N. V. Nirmal Kumar, who had previously made Salim (2014), was signed on as director.[4][5] The film subsequently began production in mid-October 2016. Arvind Swamy finished shooting his portions in March 2017,[6] while Trisha finished hers the following month.[7] Few portions of the film were shot at Penang. In June 2017, the crew has completed the filming and it is a complete wrap.[8] However, for over five years the film remained in post-production hell due to Arvind Swamy refusing to dub for his character amidst Manobala's financial troubles.[9][10]
Release
The film was scheduled to release on 7 October 2022,[11] but was postponed indefinitely, reportedly due to the success of Ponniyin Selvan: I resulting in non-availability of screens.[12]
