Production

A remake of the Telugu adult crime comedy Guntur Talkies (2016), the film was picked up by Kannada actress Sharmiela Mandre, who wanted to produce the film as a display of gratitude for director Mukesh, who had introduced her as an actress with Sajni (2007). Vimal and Ashna Zaveri were signed on to play lead characters, with the story edited to cater it to the Tamil audiences. The team originally considered Rashmi Gautam, who was part of the original, for a role but she was ultimately left out. Poorna was also cast in the film as a police officer.

The film was partially shot in London during mid-2018, where scenes featuring Vimal, Ashna and British-Punjabi actress Mahi Sarna were shot. The rest of the film was shot in Chennai and Theni.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Natarajan Sankaran.
