Production

A. R. Reihana announced that she would debut as a producer with a fantasy comedy film during July 2015 and revealed that newcomer Azhar and Sanchita Shetty would play the lead roles. Reihana picked Vignesh Karthick to direct the film, and revealed that she was motivated to become a producer in order to make sure her music is better picturised on screen.[2] Vignesh Karthick had previously worked in different professions on television serials, while Azhar had worked as a radio jockey. The film was shot throughout late 2015 and 2016, with the title Yenda Thalaiyila Yenna Vekkala announced after production was completed. Reihana also revealed that she was hopeful that her actor-composer son, G. V. Prakash Kumar, would portray a small role in the film.[3]

Soundtrack

The film's music was composed by the film's producer A. R. Reihana, with four different lyricists working on the album. The soundtrack was released on 29 April 2017 through Divo.
