== Development ==

Rajarajan of K Productions.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-10-31 |title=Bigg Boss Tamil contestants Raiza, Harish Kalyan to romance on big screen |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/bigg-boss-tamil-contestants-raiza-harish-kalyan-to-romance-on-big-screen-4915685/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180118064614/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/bigg-boss-tamil-contestants-raiza-harish-kalyan-to-romance-on-big-screen-4915685/ |archive-date=2018-01-18 |access-date=2024-01-21 |website=[[The Indian Express]] |language=en}}</ref> Yuvan intended to produce a film for a long time, and eventually he chose a romantic film as he felt that love songs were his forte and has been missing it for quite some time.
