Production

In mid-2004, K. S. Ravikumar planned a film under the title Jaggubhai with the proposed cast including Rajinikanth in the lead role playing a terrorist, and Aishwarya Rai was finalised to play the female lead role. The film had a photoshoot and was touted to be Rajinikanth's comeback film after the debacle of Baba in 2002.

Sneha, who was picked to portray the mother in the film, opted out due to her discontent in being the mother of the heroine, played by Shriya Saran. After approaching Simran, Padmapriya Janakiraman, Kamalini Mukerji and Vimala Raman for the role, Bollywood actress Tabu agreed to do the mother's role, demanding a sum of ₹75 lakh (equivalent to ₹2.1 crore or US$210,000 in 2026) but later walked out. Newcomer Srisha was later handed that role.
