Oru Mugathirai

[2] Described as a psychological thriller based on Facebook, Rahman was signed to portray the lead role of a psychiatrist, while newcomer Suresh and Aditi Gururaj were also cast in the film.

[5] The film was shot in 42 days in and around Goa, Puducherry and Ooty, with music composed by Prem Kumar, an associate of A. R. Rahman, while Saravanapandian, handled the camera work.

Senthil Nadan worked on the project simultaneously alongside his commitments for a horror film titled Raja Magal.

[6] The success of Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru (2016) starring Rahman prompted producers of his delayed ventures to publicise and release their films to make most of the actor's renaissance at the box office.

For now, that film's success has resulted in two of his sub-standard previous outings (Oru Mugathirai and Pagadi Aattam) getting a release and taking things back to square one".
