The film was released on 19 June 2015.

Production

Eli is the second film of Vadivelu with Yuvaraj Dhayalan after Tenaliraman (2014). In March 2015, Sadha was confirmed to play the female lead in the film. In an interview with Sudhir Srinivasan of The Hindu, Dhayalan said that the inspiration for the film's title came from the repeated usage of the word "rat", which is a term used to denote an informant, in the American film The Departed (2006).

Principal photography commenced with the filming of a song sequence on the outskirts of the city, from the same day as the first look poster was released. A stunt sequence was shot at a specially erected set in early April 2015 over a period of eight days. According to Dhayalan, this sequence features Vadivelu evading the villain's henchmen instead of fighting them.
