	Reshmi Menon signed on to portray the female lead in the film, although she was initially apprehensive as she felt that the role—a typical North Madras woman, sporting a "no-makeup" look and talking "proper Tamil"—was "very much outside my comfort zone". David Solomon Raja, who had appeared in several television serials and as a police officer in "Kaththi", was reported to have played a major role in the film. Arul Vincent, a former associate of P. C. Sreeram, was signed to handle the cinematography.
