The film's director, Dwarakh, a viscom graduate who has made short films, stated "the film which he says cannot be classified under a particular genre" and that "the story revolves around the romance between an 18-year-old girl and a 25-year-old boy". The film had its origin as a short film titled Maalai Neram, but Dwarakh later expanded that into a film.[1] Dhruvva of Thilagar (2015) fame and Venba, who portrayed the younger version of Anjali's character in Kattradhu Thamizh (2007), were signed to play the lead pair.[2] Dwarakh completed scripting the film in a mere 10 days, and wrapped up the shoot in 24 days.[3]
