Production
Set in the 1980s, the film delves into the lives of shepherds.[1] It was shot across southern regions of Tamil Nadu such as Dindigul, Madurai, Pudukottai, Ramanathapuram and Sivagangai during early 2018. The director, P. Marimuthu, suggested that the story of the film was drawn from real life experiences in rural Tamil Nadu.[2] The film's producer and lead actor, Shaman Mithru, stated that the film's making and characterisations were along the lines of those seen in Paruthiveeran (2007), Subramaniyapuram (2008) and Vaagai Sooda Vaa (2011). Actors were trained for six months, and a mock shoot was held for five days before production had started.[3]
Impressed by the film, producer C. V. Kumar initially agreed to distribute the film through his Thirukumaran Entertainment banner. He later pulled out of the commitment.[3] The makers then screened the film at a few international film festivals, as the film experienced trouble in getting a theatrical release in Tamil Nadu.[4][5]

The film's soundtrack was composed by Ved Shankar and Jithin K. Roshan. The lyrics were written by Snehan.
