Anbalaya Films offered debutant [[Prabhu Solomon]] an opportunity to direct a film for their production house, after he had helped them complete the post-production works for ''[[Murai Mappillai]]'' (1995) when director [[Sundar C]] walked out. Prabhu Solomon chose to feature [[Raghuvaran]] and [[Bhanupriya]] in the leading roles, though the producers Anabalaya Films were reluctant to cast a character artiste in the lead role. Prabhu revealed he met [[Arjun Sarja|Arjun]] in Thenkasi during the making of ''[[Mudhalvan]]'' (1999), at the insistence of his producer and actively tried to make a poor impression. Arjun, nonetheless, was keen and worked on the film.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://silverscreen.in/features/prabhu-solomon-interview-the-perfect-wave/|title=Prabhu Solomon Interview: The Perfect Wave|last1=December 23|first1=Neelima Menon On|last2=2014|date=2014-12-23|website=Silverscreen.in|language=en-US|access-date=2019-10-26}}</ref> | Anbalaya Films offered debutant [[Prabhu Solomon]] an opportunity to direct a film for their production house, after he had helped them complete the post-production works for ''[[Murai Mappillai]]'' (1995) when director [[Sundar C]] walked out.
