In November 2015, it was reported that A. L. Vijay would direct a film starring Jayam Ravi in the lead role. The actor confirmed that the duo would begin work on the project in the middle of 2016, following the completion of his other films.[1] The film was reported to be about a man who escapes from the mythical kingdom of Kumari Kandam.[2] In May 2016, Vijay confirmed that the project would begin later in the year and revealed that the film would be shot extensively in the Andaman Islands. Music composer Harris Jayaraj and cinematographer Tirru were also brought in for the project.[3][4]
The film was subsequently launched in September 2016 with production beginning thereafter in Chennai. Sayyeshaa Saigal was signed on to portray the leading female role in the film, marking her debut in Tamil films.[5] Sanjay Bharathi and Varun also signed on to work on the film, with the latter revealing that he would play the heroine's love interest and that Jayam Ravi would portray a tribal man who finds himself in the city.[6]
