Ayalaan was first announced back in 2016, with principal photography taking place from June 2018 to January 2021. There are tremendous expectations surrounding the Sivakarthikeyan-starrer as it will feature more than 4500+ VFX shots making it the first full-length live-action film in Indian cinema history to achieve this massive feat. Ayalaan will see Sivakarthikeyan paired with Rakul Preet Singh, while the ensemble cast includes Karunakaran, Yogi Babu, Sharad Kelkar, Isha Koppikar, David Broughton-Davies, Banupriya, among others making appearances in key roles.
