Production

Film producer C. V. Kumar began his first directorial project in June 2014 and signed on Naveen Chandra to play the lead role. The film began production during the same month and was titled Mayavan, with K. S. G. Venkatesh also signed on to play a pivotal role. Santhosh Narayanan was revealed to be the film's music composer and the launch event was attended by a few of the producer's close friends.

C. V. Kumar began working on the film again during September 2015, when it was announced that Sundeep Kishan would replace Naveen in the lead role, while Kumar would produce the film alongside the studio, Studio Green. Kumar revealed that he had also approached Vijay Sethupathi to play the lead role, but his unavailability prompted him to sign on Sundeep.

Tripathi later became available and signed on to play the leading female role after Pannu became busy with her commitments in Hindi films during February 2016. The film was officially launched in mid February 2016, with Ghibran announced as the film's composer and Gopi Amarnath as the cinematographer. Daniel Balaji, Jayaprakash, Bagavathi Perumal, and Mime Gopi were also added to the cast, as the film began production in Chennai.
