Production



In early 2015, the actor Delhi Ganesh chose to convert his theatre company Om Ganesh Creations into a production studio and launched a film starring his son, Maha, in the lead role. Titled 'Ennul Aayiram', the film featured newcomers with the Malayalam actress Marina Michael signed to play the leading female role.

The idea of making a film first emerged after Maha was told a storyline by Krishna Kumar, an erstwhile assistant to thr director A. L. Vijay, and Maha subsequently took the project to his father. Vincent Asokan was also signed to work on the film, ending his sabbatical from signing Tamil films, while Gopi Sunder was composed the film's music. Shooting was completed in 50 days in Chennai and Pondicherry.

Delhi Ganesh asked R. Madhavan to release a single online to promote the project, while Ganesh also convinced Kamal Haasan to release the film's audio soundtrack during February 2016.
