The director, Sugan, stated he was inspired by life in his village of Pallipatti in Dharmapuri, and his days in the National Cadet Corps, while scripting the film, while the film's shoot was completed within a period of 45 days.[2] Sunil Kumar was signed to play the lead character as Major Saravanan, after the director was impressed with his role in Paalai.[3] Akhila Kishore was signed on to portray a soldier's wife in the film.[4] It took one year to complete the extensive CG work.[5] The film's distribution rights were bought by Dream Factory in early 2016, increasing the financial viability of the project with good publicity.
