==Production==<br />
[[Mysskin]] launched the production of the film during July 2015, and announced that he would also write the script for the film and play the antagonist. He stated that he was inspired to write the script based on a real life barber he knew, who would only tell lies.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/director-mysskin-talks-about-his-love-for-sherlock-holmes-and-portrayal-of-private-detective-in-thupparivalan/article19762616.ece|title=A realist to the core|newspaper=The Hindu|date=27 September 2017|last1=Saravanan|first1=T.}}</ref><ref name=behindwoods>{{cite news|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-15/music-director-arrol-corelli-on-his-work-in-pasanga-2.html|title=Suriya Thanked Me for My Heartfelt Work|newspaper=Behindwoods|date=24 October 2015}} Retrieved 31 December 2015.</ref> The film's director was Mysskin's brother, G. R. Adithya, who had previously apprenticed under filmmakers such as [[R. Parthiepan]] and Mysskin himself. Adithya had initially been contracted to make a film for a different production studio but after the project got shelved, he convinced Mysskin to give him an opportunity to direct the project. Another director, [[Ram (director)|Ram]], was signed on to play the lead role of the barber, with Adithya keen on selecting someone with an "innocent" face. Ram initially refused the offer, as he felt that the film would undo his public image of being a serious film-maker, but later accepted to feature in the project.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/A-comical-collision/article16374414.ece|title=A comical collision|newspaper=The Hindu|date=12 November 2016|last1=Anantharam|first1=Chitra Deepa}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/mysskin-watching-films-in-theaters-is-a-communal-event-news-tamil-sbykR2fjejaej.html|title=Mysskin: Watching films in theaters is a communal event}}</ref> Poorna was selected after six heroines, including [[Priyamani]], had refused the opportunity to be a part of the film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://home.mykollywood.com/2015/07/15/poorna-replaces-priyamani-in-mysskins-next/|title=Poorna replaces Priyamani in Mysskin's next|date=15 July 2015}} Retrieved 31 December 2015.</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Six-heroines-declined-but-Poorna-said-yes/articleshow/48084023.cms|author=Karthik, Janani|title=Six heroines declined, but Poorna said 'yes'|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=16 July 2015}} Retrieved 31 December 2015.</ref> The actress revealed that she would play a hearing-impaired pregnant lady in the film, and prior to the start of shoot, she took part in a ten-day workshop where she learnt to speak the Sivagangai slang and was taught how to portray the character by Adithya.
