Earlier, the makers of Saani Kaayidham released a new poster from the movie and conveyed their wishes to Selvaraghavan. He sports a rugged look and is seen smoking, while his hands are covered in blood. We also see someone’s legs tied and covered in blood. The poster is gruesome yet intriguing and sets the tone for the crime thriller.

According to reports, the plot of Saani Kaayidham is inspired from real- life incidents that took place in the 1980s. However, the makers of the film are yet to give more details about the venture. Saani Kaayidham is bankrolled by Seven Screen Entertainment. The technical crew comprises Yuvan Shankar Raja for music, Yamini Yagnamurthy for cinematography, Nagooran for editing and Ramu Thangaraj for art direction.

A week ago, Keerthy Suresh took to Instagram to announce that Saani Kaayidham went on floors. Shooting for the movie is currently underway in Chennai.
