==Production==
In early 2015, [[H. Vinoth]], who had directed the successful heist film ''[[Sathuranga Vettai]]'' (2014), agreed to make his next film for the production studio, [[Thirrupathi Brothers]], who had helped distribute the earlier film. Vinoth submitted two scripts to production studio, including a sequel to his earlier film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-15/director-vinoth-and-thirupathi-brothers-to-make-sathuranga-vettai-2.html|title=Director Vinoth and Thirrupathi Brothers may team up for Sathuranga Vettai|work=behindwoods.com|accessdate=31 October 2016}}</ref> Soon after, Thirrupathi Brothers ran into financial difficulties and Vinoth went on to narrate the script of the sequel to actors [[Ajith Kumar]] and [[Suriya]], for films to be produced by [[Sathyajyothi Films]] and [[Studio Green]], but neither venture materialised.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-15/sathuranga-vettai-vinoth-is-writing-a-script-for-a-small-budget-film-now.html|title=Sathuranga Vettai Vinoth is writing a script for a small budget film now|date=19 November 2015|work=behindwoods.com|accessdate=31 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-15/suriya-to-do-director-vinoths-sathuranga-vettai-2.html|title=Suriya to do director Vinoth’s Sathuranga Vettai 2|date=27 April 2015|work=behindwoods.com|accessdate=31 October 2016}}</ref>

In August 2016, the original film's producer [[Manobala]] came forward and decided to produce the film himself, bringing in [[Arvind Swamy]] and [[Trisha (actress)|Trisha]] to play the lead roles. Vinoth parted with his script because he was busy working on the pre-production of another film starring [[Karthi]], so Nirmal Kumar, who had previously made ''[[Salim (film)|Salim]]'' (2014), was signed on as director.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Trisha-Arvind-Swami-in-Sathuranga-Vettai-2/articleshow/54478815.cms|title=Trisha, Arvind Swami in Sathuranga Vettai 2 - Times of India|work=indiatimes.com|accessdate=31 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/arvind-swamy-next-new-movie-sathuranga-vettai-2-produced-by-manobala-tamil-news-166361.html|title=IndiaGlitz - Arvind Swamy next new movie Sathuranga Vettai 2 produced by Manobala - Tamil Movie News|work=indiaglitz.com|accessdate=31 October 2016}}</ref> The film subsequently began production in mid-October 2016.
