Production
The film began production in 2009. Kathir, who played a lorry driver in Salangai Durai's earlier film Kathavarayan (2008), was cast in this film as a water tank lorry driver. He practised lorry driving for the film. This was Malayalam actress Honey Rose's second Tamil film after Mudhal Kanave (2007), but the delay of the film meant that this was her fourth Tamil film after Singam Puli (2011). The climax was shot in Chennai.[1]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Malayalam composer Alex Paul in his Tamil debut.[2]

Reception
A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "The director’s earlier debut film Kathavarayan was a far better effort than this one".[3] A critic from Dinamalar criticised the film for solely relying on the climax.[4]
