Production[edit]
After the success of his debut venture,[5] director Balaji began pre-production on his second film titled Seethakathi for producers Vasan's Visual Ventures. However, after a year of scripting, Balaji announced that he had temporarily stalled the venture and would resume it later in his career (eventually restarted it in April 2017). In August 2014, he subsequently made an official announcement that his next venture would be titled Oru Pakka Kathai[6] and would feature Kalidas Jayaram, son of actor Jayaram in the lead role. The launch for the movie was held on 1 September 2014 at Prasad Lab in Vadapalani and Kamal Haasan showed up for the event to introduce Kalidas to the audience.[7] Shooting began in December 2014.[8] The film was produced by K. S. Sreenivasan[9] under the banner of Vasan's Visual Ventures.[10]
Release[edit]
The film's distribution rights were bought by the digital streaming platform ZEE5 as a theatrical release failed to happen.[11] It released on 25 December 2020.[12] Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South wrote "Balaji Tharaneetharan may be the gentlest filmmaker in Tamil cinema today. The smallest of plot points is treated with dignity. But the second half needed more work".[13]
