Production

In May 2014, Vijay Milton announced his interest in directing actor T. Rajender for a film about a person who goes from "zero to hero".^[2] Milton later became busy with the production of 10 Endrathukulla (2015) and was later unsuccessful in convincing Rajender to be a part of the project. He subsequently signed on Rajakumaran to portray the lead role of a puli vesham artist. Bharath signed the project in early 2016 and bulked up for the film in order to portray a boxer, training under the physical trainer Sivakumar. He also denied reports that he was playing the antagonist in the film, stating he would play one of the three leading roles^[3] Vijay Milton's brother Bharath Seeni was selected to portray the third leading role, while actresses Subiksha and Radhika Prasidhha were also signed on to feature in the film.^[4] Srushti Dange had earlier held discussions for a role in the film, before Subiksha was finalised.^[5] Actress Samantha had also distanced herself from the film after being reported to have been signed on for a role opposite Rajakumaran.^[6]

The film began production during March 2016 in Chennai, soon after the cast was finalised.^[7] The climax of the film was shot around the outskirts of Chennai during May 2016.^[8]
