Production
Vijay Nantha, who previously directed a film in Telugu, began working on his second film. The producer, K. Tripura Sundhari, called Vijay Natha on producing a film and the former recalls how coincidentally his son, Viswanath Balaji, was chosen to portray the lead role.[1] Balaji is a television actor and makes his film debut through Vilayada Vaa. Divya Padmini and Aishwarya Rajesh also star in the film.[3] The director wanted to shed light on the game of carrom through this film.[4]
Themes
The director, Vijayanand, stated that "The carrom board is used as a metaphor for life in the film that is about the hero's fight to be a successful player".[5]
Soundtrack
The songs were composed by Srimurali, who previously worked in Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu films. The audio was released by K. S. Ravikumar in 11 November 2011.[1]
