Production
Aravind Sridhar wrote a dark comedy script and signed on Bharath to appear in the lead role, as a youngster who acquires extra-sensory ability through some negative experiences.[3] Actress Bhanu Sri Mehra was signed on to feature in the film and portray a journalist.[4] Sridhar revealed that he based the script on a real life incident featuring his friend, who was a drug-taker, and spun a fictional story around his experiences.[5] Bharath was initially hesitant about the financial viability of the script in the Tamil film industry but later chose to do the film. Production began during June 2015 and progressed across Chennai and Pondicherry.[1] In October 2015, the team held discussion with actress Trisha about playing a cameo role in the film to promote animal welfare.[6]
