Production
Explaining the relevance of the title Vil Ambu, meaning a bow and arrow, Ramesh Subramaniam said that no one ever has a permanent role in life because "If you are a bow one day, you will be an arrow the next".[2] The director also said the script is based on the six degrees of separation theory.[3] Chandini Tamilarasan was cast after the makers were impressed by her fluency in Tamil; because she plays a slum dweller, she "worked on [her] body language" to achieve the required speaking style.[4] In April 2015, the official title was revealed to be Vil Ambu, with actress Kajal Aggarwal launching the film's motion poster.[5] By December, 70% of filming was complete, having taken place mostly in Coimbatore.[6]
Soundtrack
Music is composed by Navin.[7] A single, "Neeyum Adi Naanum" was released on 20 September 2015 at Loyola College, Chennai,[8] while the audio launch was held a week later at Sathyam Cinemas.[9]
