Run Baby Run went on floors earlier this year in March and Prince Pictures will be looking to come out on top after they hit the bullseye recently with their Sardar starring Karthi in the lead role under PS Mithran's direction. The RJ Balaji and Aishwarya Rajesh-starrer has a talented technical team on board starting with music director Sam C. S., cinematography handled by Yuva, followed by Lift fame Ganesh Madan taking care of the editing, while the art direction is by Veeramani. RJ Balaji has been on a roll after his Mookuthi Amman in 2020 and Veetla Vishesham released earlier this year received positive feedback from audiences and critics. Run Baby Run is also his next after his Singapore Saloon being directed by Gokul of Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara and Kaashmora fame under producer Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh's Vels Film International banner.
Aishwarya Rajesh, on the other hand, has several films in her lineup that include Driver Jamuna, which will be coming out in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam languages. The film was initially scheduled to open in theatres last month, but was postponed at the last moment, and would have been her first big release after she was last seen in Vaanam Kottatum in 2020. She also has films like the Tamil remake of The Great Indian Kitchen, 'Action King' Arjun's Theeyavar Kulaigal Nadunga, Vishnu Vishal's Mohandas, Soppana Sundari under Lock Up fame S G Charles' direction, Farhana with Monster director Nelson Venkatesan, and the long-delayed Idam Porul Yaeval, including 'Chiyaan' Vikram's Dhruva Natchathiram. Aishwarya Rajesh will also be seen in three Malayalam films starting with Pulimada alongside Jagame Thandhiram fame Joju George, the Tovino Thomas-starrer Ajayante Randam Moshanam, and the multi-starrer Her, which has her sharing screen space with veteran actress Urvashi, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Jai Bhim fame Lijomol Jose, and Sethupathi heroine Remya Nambeesan.
