Leoni, who had earlier portrayed supporting roles in Maamanithan (2022) and Kannai Nambathey (2023).The shoot of the film began in early 2021.[citation needed]
As a long-term friend and collaborator of Seenu Ramasamy, actor Vijay Sethupathi shot for a single day to appear in a cameo appearance for the film, portraying himself. He did not take remuneration for his role, and allowed for the shoot to take place at his office.[1][2] Director Prabhu Solomon also appeared in his first acting role, and completed his portions in early 2021.[3]
