Production

In April 2018, V. Madhiazhagan of Etcetera Entertainment commissioned a film to be directed by ARK Saravan, who earlier directed Maragadha Naanayam (2017). Titled Minnal Veeran, the film was set to star Atharvaa and Parvati Nair in the lead roles, with D. Imman as the music composer and Deepak Menon as the cinematographer.[4] During the pre-production stages of the film, while location scouting was ongoing, Madhiazhagan stepped in to financially assist Atharvaa on the release of his home production venture, Semma Botha Aagathey (2018). However, the failure of the film prompted a financial disagreement between Madhiazhagan and Atharvaa, and following mediation from the Tamil Film Producers Council, it was agreed that Atharvaa would work on Minnal Veeran to settle the losses of Semma Botha Aagathey.[5][6] In a turn of events in November 2018, ARK Saravan refused to work on the film, citing that Atharvaa and Madhiazhagan's financial disputes had disrupted his interest in making the film.[7][8] In May 2019, ARK Saravan planned on making the film with Arya in the lead role for the production house Studio Green, but the project did not take off.[9]

In 2022, the film was picked up by Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan under the banner of Sathya Jyothi Films. The shooting of the film began on 25 May 2022.[10] The cinematography of the film was done by Deepak D. Menon,[11] and the editing of the film was done by Prasanna GK. The first look poster was released on 20 February 2023.[12] The trailer for the film was released on 20 May 2023.[13]
