It stars Ravi Mohan and Trisha, while Nathan Jones and Prakash Raj play pivotal roles as antagonists.

This rivalry is being used by Deepak Shah (Prakash Raj), an intelligent TV CEO, to make money through his FSC (Future Sports Channel) Independent Boxing Cup.

Meanwhile, Deepak, who is hell bent on fixing Bhooloham's match with Destroyer Gurudayal (Arpit Ranka), hatches a conspiracy.

Unable to bear Bhooloham's loss, his coach Rathinam Master (Ponvannan) commits suicide by consuming poison.

Meanwhile, Deepak plans to bring an American-based psychotic boxer Steven George (Nathan Jones) to kill Dayal as to increase the TRPs of the channel.

Due to the potential of the match for immense profit, Deepak, though reluctant, is forced to sign on the agreement created by Bhooloham and the Boxing Union.

Jayam Ravi agreed terms to star in the film in August 2010, shortly after he had begun work for Engeyum Kadhal (2011) and Aadhi Baghavan (2013).

This was due to the character in Aadhi Bhagavan requiring Ravi to sport a beard, which stopped him from working on films simultaneously.

[4] In July 2011, it was reported that Jayam Ravi underwent a special training course in boxing for his role as a boxer with professional athlete, Prasad, overseeing his progress.

[5][6] Amala Paul was approached by the producers in March 2012 to play the leading female role, but could not allot dates for the film.

[12] In early 2015, the Indian Overseas Bank's Sriram Nagar branch filed a petition in The Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Chennai and requested to an interim stay on the film after Aascar Ravichandran failed to repay the loan amount he bought for the production expense of Bhooloham.
