Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

In mid-2019, Rambhala announced his intentions of making a third part to his Dhilluku Dhuddu film series featuring Santhanam in the lead role. The film was reported to be shot in 3D and expected to be produced by Chowdhary of 18 Reels Entertainment.[4][5] Following a period of stagnation, Rambhala's assistant Prem Anand took over as the project director in early 2022, following creative differences between the director and Santhanam.[6] The film subsequently marked the second project of Prem Anand, who had earlier worked with Santhanam on the comedy series Lollu Sabha and had co-directed the film Inimey Ippadithan (2015).[7]

Actresses Surbhi and Masoom Shankar joined the film's shoot, as did Pradeep Rawat, with scenes shot across Chennai and Pondicherry.[8] Production on the untitled film took place throughout 2022, with the project completed by December 2022.[9] The title of the film was publicly revealed as DD Returns in April 2023.[10]

Music[edit]

The film's music is composed by OfRo in his maiden collaboration with Santhanam and Prem.[11][12]
