Perspective

In January 2017, the film project was announced by veteran theater actor Michael Muthu as his maiden directorial full-fledged feature film venture, and he revealed that it would be a bilingual film titled The Way Things Are in English and Theeviram in Tamil.[3] Muthu had previously made an attempt to make his directorial debut in 2002, but the project, which was titled The Girl, failed to materialize, and the project was subsequently shelved.[4][5]

Muthu revealed that the story he narrated was specifically meant to be for a theatrical play, but he later changed his mind to convert his script into a full-length feature film after realizing that the theme around the three stories had vast potential to be presented in a more meaningful way through film mode.[4] Initially, Muthu proposed plans to shoot the film entirely as an English-language film. Sameer Bharat Ram, who was on board to produce the film under his production banner, Local Talkies, convinced Muthu to shoot the film in Tamil as well.[4] The filmmakers conducted rehearsals and auditions for a duration of 30 days to find suitable cast members prior to the commencement of the principal photography of the film.[4] Muthu rehearshed with the cast for 30 days before shooting to reduce extra takes, saving money and allowing the production to shoot at "breakeck speed" with a goal of four scenes per day.[6] Filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon was roped in to play a National Investigation Agency officer.[2]
