The film stars his regular cast - Jai, Vaibhav Reddy, and Premji - along with Aravind Akash, Sampath Raj, Piaa Bajpai, Sneha, and the debutant Australian model Melanie Marie in supporting roles. The film is the first production of Soundarya Rajinikanth's Ocher Picture Productions. Actors Silambarasan, Nayanthara and Prasanna make guest appearances in the film. The film's music was composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, with cinematography by Sakthi Saravanan and editing by Praveen K. L. and N. B. Srikanth.

Production

The film was to be produced by the American production company Warner Bros. in association with Soundarya Rajinikanth's production company Ocher Studios. Despite reports in April 2009 that Warner Bros. backed out of the project, in May 2009, Soundarya denied such reports, disclosing that "any rumor that suggests otherwise is simply not true", that Warner Bros.

At a press conference in December 2008, Venkat revealed that there would be three lead female roles in the film, one of which would be a non-Indian, "white girl", playing a foreigner in Goa whilst declaring his interest in signing Hollywood actress Jessica Alba with Sneha and Genelia D'Souza. Alba ultimately did not sign the project.

Regarding the other two lead female roles, it turned out that discussions with Genelia D'Souza proved to be unsuccessful, with the actress citing she had no available dates until June 2009, having already signed up for a couple of Hindi films, whereas talks with Sneha resulted in success as the actress signed on to be a part of the film in late January 2009. The role initially offered to Genelia was subsequently taken over by Pooja.

In November 2009, additionally, Nayantara was hired for a cameo appearance in the film's last scene. Reports indicated that she shot for the scene, involving herself and the lead cast, for one day without taking any remuneration as she was a "big fan of Venkat Prabhu's movies".

The technical crew remained mostly the same as in Venkat Prabhu's earlier ventures. His cousin Yuvan Shankar Raja composes the musical score, whereas his songs featured lyrics provided by veterans Vaali and Gangai Amaran. Sakthi Saravanan, Videsh and Vasuki Bhaskar were signed as the cinematographer, art director and costume designer, respectively, joining Venkat Prabhu for the third time in his third venture.
