Production
A remake of the Telugu adult crime comedy Guntur Talkies (2016), the film was picked up by Kannada actress Sharmiela Mandre, who wanted to produce the film as a display of gratitude for director Mukesh, who had introduced her as an actress with Sajni (2007).[3] Vimal and Ashna Zaveri were signed on to play lead characters, with the story edited to cater it to the Tamil audiences.[4] The team originally considered Rashmi Gautam, who was part of the original, for a role but she was ultimately left out.[5] Poorna was also cast in the film as a police officer.
The film was partially shot in London during mid-2018, where scenes featuring Vimal, Ashna and British-Punjabi actress Mahi Sarna were shot. The rest of the film was shot in Chennai and Theni.[6][7]
