PC Sreeram is the cinematographer with Rubens in charge of the editing. The film is bankrolled under the banner Dream Warrior Pictures.

While the rest of the cast and crew are yet to be finalised. The film is expected to go on floors sometime soon which will be bankrolled by Lakshman under the banner Prince Pictures who already produced Karthi starrer Dev which failed at the box-office.

Meanwhile,Karthi starrer Kaithi which had hit the screens last Diwali was declared as a blockbuster hit.
