Featuring music composed by Santhosh Narayanan, the film has cinematography by Sivakumar Vijayan
and editing by Sathish Suriya. After beginning pre-production works in

2014. The film will be released in January 2016.
During the production of her first directorial venture Drohi (2010), Sudha Kongara Prasad began writing a sports drama film on boxing. In mid-2013, she approached Madhavan,
who was on a sabbatical from Tamil films, to portray the lead role in
the film and his presence in the project, helped take the financial
viability of the venture to a higher level.[1] The pair had previously collaborated in Madhavan's films under the direction of Mani Ratnam, where Sudha had been an assistant director.[2]
Portraying a retired boxer, Madhavan grew a thick beard and sported
long hair for his role in the film, while embarking on an intense body
conditioning regime in Los Angeles.[3][4][5] Reports wrongly suggested that Madhavan was playing a role in another sports drama film, a biopic of the Indian boxer Mary Kom, and he clarified that he was acting on a separate film on boxing.[6]
