This is the first time music director Anirudh is scoring music for a Suriya movie, and marks the second time he is working with director Vignesh Shivan after Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.
The director Vignesh Shivan, reportedly said that it was an unbelievable experience shooting with Suriya for the first time, after remembering watching one of the latter's movies Kaakha Kaakha as a kid.
The second poster of the movie, released by its star Suriya on 23.07.2017, broke all existing Twitter records by raking up more than 60,000 Retweets within the first two days, setting a national record. That tweet also became the highest re-tweeted Indian movie tweet ever, breaking the earlier record set by Vijay's Mersal.
This movie marks the first time that Suriya and Keerthy Suresh are working together.
A teaser for a song was released on April 14 as an update on Tamil New Year, with the full song reportedly about to be released soon.
