Director Krish launched the project and shot more than half the film before exiting for personal reasons. Producer A.M. Rathnam’s son, Jyothi Krishna, then stepped in to finish the remaining portions. Industry insiders say he treated the film as a prestige project, ensuring high production values and sharp visuals throughout.
