Production
In early 2015, actor Delhi Ganesh chose to convert his theatre company Om Ganesh Creations into a production studio and launched a film starring his son, Maha, in the lead role. Titled Ennul Aayiram, the film featured newcomers with Malayalam actress Marina Michael signed on to portray the leading female role.The idea of making a film first emerged after Maha was narrated a storyline by Krishna Kumar, an erstwhile assistant to director A. L. Vijay, and the Maha subsequently took the project to his father. Vincent Asokan also signed on to work on the film, ending his sabbatical from signing Tamil films, while Gopi Sunder was signed to compose the film's music.The film's shoot was completed in fifty days in Chennai and Pondicherry.
Delhi Ganesh asked R. Madhavan to release a single online to promote the project, while Ganesh also convinced Kamal Haasan to release the film's audio soundtrack during February 2016.
