Production
editThe film began production in 2019 and was supposed to be made in Kannada by director Dil Satya and produced by Hindi producers, but it was made as a Tamil film due to Andrea Jeremiah's popularity there.[4][5][1] Dil Satya and Karthik Jayaram from the Kannada film industry forayed into Tamil cinema through this film.[6][7]
Andrea plays an ACP, who upon investigating a palace learns about her past as a princess.[1][8] She accepted the role since she got to play two characters, which is rarely offered to heroines.[1] K. S. Ravikumar accepted the film due to cinematographer K. Ramsingh, whose mentor Ashok Rajan worked on many of his directorial films starting with his second film Cheran Pandian (1991).[9]
