ProductionEdit
Nawin Ghanesh first conceptualised Echo as a short film during 2015 and later adapted it into a feature film-length script to mark his directorial debut. The project was formally announced in August 2020, with Srikanth and Vidya Pradeep joining the cast of the film.[1] Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the makers opted to shoot the film primarily in indoor locations, with the shoot of the film beginning by September 2020.[2][3][4]
Ashish Vidyarthi signed on to work on his first Tamil film since 2015, having earlier opted to stay away from the industry citing that he was getting typecast in roles.[5] The shoot of the film was primarily completed by March 2021, with Ghanesh revealing that he was open to the film having either a theatrical or a straight-to-television release. In May 2021, Srikanth shot for extra scenes with actress Pooja Jhaveri in Pondicherry.[6][7]
ReceptionEdit
The film was released on 21 July 2023 across Tamil Nadu. Reviewing the film, a critic from Maalai Malar wrote the film "was a good effort".[8] A critic from Dina Thanthi praised the film's screenplay, while a critic from Raj TV also gave the film a positive review, praising the director's handling of the script.[9][10]
