Production
After the release of Pudhupettai (2006), Selvaraghavan set up a production company, White Elephants along with Yuvan Shankar Raja and Arvind Krishna, and announced the team's first project Idhu Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam, which began filming in November 2006. The team shot scenes with Karthi, whose first film Paruthiveeran (2007) was awaiting release, and Sandhya.[2] The film was stalled in early 2007 due to cinematographer Arvind Krishna's decision to leave White Elephants and the project was eventually shelved.[3]
Mid-way through the production of Aayirathil Oruvan, Selvaraghavan then relaunched Idhu Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam in November 2008 and filming started with a new cast of Dhanush and Andrea Jeremiah in the leading roles. Ramji and G. V. Prakash Kumar had taken over as the cinematographer and music director respectively.[4] The film was described to be a "quick project" with Selvaraghavan and Dhanush's sister, Vimalageetha taking up the production reins.[5] However, filming was subsequently stalled for unknown reasons in February 2009.[6] In August 2009, the film was launched again for the third time with a first schedule planned in Hyderabad and Selvaraghavan taking over exclusively as producer.[7][8][9] However the film was yet again abandoned in October 2009, and he began work on another project, Maruvan, with the lead actors instead.[10]
The film was relaunched in mid 2014 with Selvaraghavan's wife, Gitanjali, announced as the director of the script. Production began in August 2014 with newcomers Balakrishna Kola and Wamiqa Gabbi, while the film was announced to be produced by Balakrishna's father, editor Kola Bhaskar. Further newcomers Amrit and Sridhar were signed on as the film's music composer and cinematographer respectively.[11] The film's first look poster was released in April 2015, with a teaser released thereafter in September 2015.[12][13]
