Aishwarya revealed that the script was written with Shruti Haasan in mind to play the female lead role but the actress was unavailable to do the film. Subsequently, Aishwarya signed on Amala Paul, after being impressed by her work in Mynaa. Despite expectations that G. V. Prakash Kumar would be signed on as music composer, musician Anirudh was given a chance to make a debut as a music composer for a feature film.

This film’s press meet was held at the Star City Hotel on August 5, 2011 in Chennai with the director, the cinematographer and the lead pair, Dhanush and Amala Paul, in attendance. The film was originally meant to begin its first schedule in October 2011 but in a turn of events, Dhanush had free dates in August and September 2011. However Amala Paul was unavailable to start the film early and left the project, with Shruti Haasan joining the team after her Telugu film was delayed.
