Hansika will start shooting for her portions first while Siva Karthikeyan will join the team from the first week of August.[1]
The film was named after a dialogue spoken by Dhamu in Gemini (2002),[4] where he explains that Maan Karate means nothing more than how a deer runs away when in danger,[5] The film has been titled so because whenever there is a problem in his life, the hero Sivakarthikeyan fails to face them and runs for cover instead.

The outdoor set for the climax alone was set up at a staggering cost of INR 3 crores. Debutante Art director S.
