Production

The film went on floors on 28 April 2009 in Bangalore at Abbaiah Studios. Producer K. Manju first roped in Upendra and then went on to cast Simran and the daughter actress Jayamala, Soundarya, but Simran opted out after becoming pregnant. Another budding actress, Catherine Tresa was also brought in to reprise the role originally played by Kanika Subramaniam in the Tamil version. It was P. C. Sreeram who insisted his longtime friend A. R.

Initial reports wrongly reported that cinematographer P. C. Sreeram would be the director of the film.
