Production
The film is directed by Gopi of 'Malayan' fame. Comedian Ganja Karuppu turned producer with this film and bought a borewell truck for the film. Aarushi, who starred in 'Azhagan Azhagi' (2013), worked on this film alongside another unreleased Mahesh-starrer 'Adhithalam'. Ragasya was cast opposite Ganja Karuppu. The film reportedly has a similar storyline to 'Lingaa' (2014); however, director Gopi claims that this film's storyline is not inspired from that film.
Soundtrack
Music by Srikanth Deva. Ameer, Samuthirakani, AR Murugadoss and Karu Pazhaniappan attended the film's audio launch.
Reception
A critic from 'iFlicks' wrote that "Kanja Karuppu who has produced this film has done his part with good comedy. Songs are good in Srikanth Deva's music. Director M.P.Gopi gets an appreciation for filming a normal village story to a beautiful screenplay". A critic from 'Dinamalar' noted how it was "comforting that the film was not needlessly boring" while also praising the acting, music and cinematography. The film was also reviewed by 'Maalaimalar'.
Controversy
After the film's failure at the box office, Ganja Karuppu went into debt. During the production of the film, the film stopped midway due to lack of money. Ganja Karuppu loaned out his property land and finished the film. He lodged against Gopi and executive director Kalaiyappan for not returning the land.
