Following the success of Billa in December 2007, Ajith Kumar was signed by Prabhu's Sivaji Productions for a project touted to be directed by K. S. Ravikumar. Three months later, the producers officially signed on Gautham Vasudev Menon as the director; Sameera Reddy, the female lead for Menon's last film and second Tamil Film After Vaaranam Aayiram, was also finalised for the project.
