In an interview, the film's director has said, "The film is a supernatural suspense thriller and stars Arjun Das, Vinoth Kishan, Pooja Ramachandran, Kumar Natarajan and Misha Ghoshal. We completed the shooting of the film last year and when we were going to release the film along with the promotional material, the lockdown came into place. That's why we've opted for a low-key announcement. Director Atlee saw the film and he really liked it, so he's presenting it now. We are planning to release the trailer on Tuesday on the occasion of Tamil New Year."
The film also stars Pooja Ramachandran, Kumar Natarajan and Misha Ghoshal in important roles. The film will be produced by Sudhan Sundaram and Jayaram from Passion Studios Production in association with K Poorna Chandra of O2 Pictures and Priya Atlee.
The film will have music by Pradeep Kumar, with cinematography by Damaal Dumeel fame AM Edwin Sakay. Andhaghaaram has Sathyaraj Natarajan on board as the editor.
Atlee's last directorial venture was Bigil, which had Thalapathy Vijay as the lead actor. The sports drama had Nayanthara playing the female lead. Vijay was seen playing a dual role in the film. Jackie Shroff played the main antagonist, while Vivekh and Yogi Babu played supporting roles.
