Cast

Production

The film was earlier titled as Acham Thavir and planned with Arulnithi in the lead role, who later opted out.[2][3] This film revolves around a basketball player and Nakul underwent special training to "ensure that he lived the role rather than act".[4][5]

Telugu actress

Siddharth Jonnalagadda was selected to play another villain after Arivazhagan spotted him on one of the Life Before Wedding (2011) posters while scouting locations with Praveen Sattaru in Hyderabad.[12][13]

During production, the makers of the film ran into crowd trouble with students attempting to get autographs from Nakul when he was preparing for the shoot, they were subsequently prevented in doing so from the crew of the film prompting a student protest.[14] The team worked for 72 hours without break for a particular scene which was shot near the Chengalpet railway station.[15]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by

S. Thaman collaborating with Arivazhagan for second time. Kamal Haasan was said to be approached to sing a song in the film which proved false.[16]

Release

Although completed way before in early 2013, the film's theatrical release was delayed due to unknown reasons. It finally released on 28 February 2014. Baradwaj Rangan wrote in The Hindu, "Arivazhagan isn’t a lazy filmmaker, and at a time when most Tamil films have begun to look like flatly lit television serials, without the slightest interest in framing and staging, this quality cannot be underestimated".[18]
