The film stars Raghava Lawrence and Nikki Galrani, while Sathyaraj and Ashutosh Rana play supporting roles.

ACP Shivakumar IPS is a corrupt police officer who is transferred to Chennai and misuses his power to gain money through unorthodox processes.

In a shocking revelation by GK, Shiva is Kiruba's son, who is angry at the latter as his supposed negligence killed his mother and unborn sister.

Nithya is brutally killed by GK's brother Sanjay when she tries to save a techie from being sexually assaulted near HITEC City.

[2][3] In a turn of events in November 2015, it was revealed that Raghava Lawrence would postpone his other films and begin work on the Tamil remake of Pataas with director Sai Ramani, who had earlier directed the Jiiva-starrer Singam Puli (2011).

[5] The film was predominantly shot throughout late 2015 and early 2016, and by March 2016, Lawrence revealed that only twenty more days of shoot were pending.

[6] The climax of the film was shot in Ambattur, Chennai and production were completed barring the shoot of the songs by the end of March 2016.

[7] The team prepared to release the film by May 2016 but were forced to delay the venture after producer Madhan of Vendhar Movies had disappeared after writing a suicide note.

[10][11] Madhan was later arrested after being found to be hiding in Manipur, and following his capture, the film prepared for a theatrical release after the distribution rights was sold to Sivabalan Pictures.

[12][13] To ensure the release of the film, Raghava Lawrence sacrificed a large amount from his salary and also helped settle the deficit owed by Vendhar Movies.

[14] Amresh Ganesh was signed on by R. B. Choudary and director Sai Ramani to work on the music for the film, after he had impressed them with his sample tracks.

As a part of the album, he remixed an old song, "Aadaludan Paadalai Kettu Rasipadhile" from Kudiyirundha Koyil (1968) and recorded it with Shankar Mahadevan and Padmalatha.

In a press meet in February 2017, Amresh Ganesh refuted the claims and provided evidence of Tinku and Robert continuously trying to scam him by gathering funds for the shelved project.

[27][28] Giving a negative review, Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express called the film "mediocre with a nonsensical plot", adding it was "a sub-standard attempt by the filmmakers to glorify the police service, which ends up as a noisy hotch-potch".
