Vishnu Vishal had earlier described the film as wrestling with a twist. This sports based film will be directed by Chella Ayyavu and serves as the third sports film that Vishnu has been involved with as he has previously made his debut with the 2009 sports drama Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu and his 2014 film, Jeeva, dealt with the issues and politics surrounding the game of cricket.
Aishwarya Lekshmi is playing the female lead opposite Vishnu Vishal, while Prabhakaran, who has composed albums like Meenakshi Sundareshwar and Radhe Shyam, has been roped in for the film. Cinematographer Richard M Nathan and editor Prasanna are part of Gatta Kusthi's crew. Earlier this year, Vishnu Vishal scored a decent hit with his film FIR which opened to mixed reviews.
Meanwhile, Vishnu Vishal also has Mohandas lined up for release. Directed by Murali Karthick, the film stars Indrajith Sukumaran, Aishwarya Rajesh, Karunakaran, Lallu, Prakash Raghavan, and Shariq Hassan.
