It was noted that Premgi earlier composed one song in Chennai 600028 film and also doing the additional background score of the director's previous films as well.^[3][4] In an interview, Chandran added that, the filming is like going on an excursion and the director is handling the big star cast with absolute ease.^[5][6] Rajesh Yadav and Praveen were selected as the cinematographer and editor respectively, continuing their association with the director where they worked together in Chennai 600028 II.

Release

Despite filming having completed and the film cleared by the censor board, the film remains unreleased, although the makers were adamant on a theatrical release only, rather than direct-to-streaming.^[9][10][11] In July 2023, producer T. Siva revealed that the team had shot the film in Fiji with an agreement of a fee concession of 47% but due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Fiji, the process of refunding the money for films shot in the country was suspended. Siva said the amount would not be refunded if the film was released, although the new Fijian government was working towards returning "such withheld amounts as soon as possible", so he opted to put the film on hold.^[12] In November 2025, it was reported that the film was being aimed for release in February 2026.^[13]
