Interesting facts

The plot revolves around two police constables who try to solve a murder case in a village.

Production

Subu, who had earlier served as a lyricist for the movie Aarohanam, completed the first schedule in Kodaikanal in March 2013. Two of the actors, Venkatesh and Lakshmi Priyaa, have worked with Chennai-based theatre groups, Stray Factory and Evam respectively. Lakshmi Priyaa, who plays the role of a tribal girl in Sutta Kadhai, liked the script because the storyline of the dark comedy was different."

According to Subu, Sutta Kadhai will be a different creation because of the milieu of the story. "Even as the rip-roaring instances happen, the underlying factors are spine-chilling. It is all about a murder and the ensuing enquiry. The story takes place at night, and we shot the film extensively in Kodaikanal. One night while shooting, we were confronted by a herd of wild buffaloes, which added to the thrill," says Subu.
