The film is billed to be an action-packed gangster story set in Madurai. After 2019's action film 100, Atharvaa's fans have been eagerly waiting to see him back on the big screen but unfortunately no film of his has been released in which he has acted. So seeing him back on the big screen after a 3 year long hiatus will be a true delight for fans.
On the technical side, Yuvan Shankar Raja has been lured in to compose the music for the film, Dinesh Purushothaman was put in charge of the cinematography with Anul Krish being reeled in to edit the film.
