The highlighting trait about the movie is its horror-comedy genre which is treated with a backdrop of a historical base. The film has a powerful lead character, which I thought would be perfect for an actress like Sunny Leone. Sathish and Sanjana will be performing the other lead characters in the movie. We have planned the shooting schedules in Chennai, Perambalur, and 25 days schedule in Mumbai.”.

The shooting has now started in Chennai. The further schedules will be planned depending upon the Covid 19 situation. Maanagaram and Anbirkiniyal fame music director Javed Riaz will be composing tunes for this film, while the cinematography will be handled by Deepak D. Menon. Sunny Leone's debut Tamil film as a lead will be Veeramadevi which is a period war film, directed by VC Vadivudaiyan.
