Production

A team announced the filming process for a Tamil movie to be produced in Sri Lanka titled "Komaali Kings" earlier in the year 2016, on January 23. The team stated that Komaali Kings was an attempt to rekindle and re-establish nostalgic memories of the hay days of Sri Lankan Tamil cinema, mainly as the Sri Lankan Tamil cinema was demolished due to the Sri Lankan civil war which prevailed in Sri Lanka for 30 years.

The film was shot in Tamil-resident areas of Sri Lanka, such as Jaffna, Batticaloa, Malayagam, and Colombo, as the film includes the usage of 6 different slangs of Tamil that exist in the nation. The movie also comprises a mixture of Tamil, Sinhala, Muslim, and Christian cultures to indicate the unity between races in the nation.
