Saravanan's parents manage to send him through a severe financial drought, thinking that he would pay off all their debts as soon as he lands in Singapore.

Saravanan finds a job in Singapore through an agent and lands there with high hopes of earning three lakhs and sending the money back to his family.

He finds Saravanan and asks him to take Shalini back safely to her family in India, and in return, he will get the amount of money he has been wishing for, three lakhs, as payment.

S. S. Stanley, who won critical acclaim for his debut in April Madhathil, collaborated with Dhanush, who had given back-to-back hits in Kadhal Kondein and Thiruda Thirudi to make a film.

Stanley saw an article which appeared in The Hindu about her trip to the US and asked her to come for a make-up test, before selecting her to play the female lead in the film.

[4][5] The musical scene with Tharika was shot on a large set, complete with waterfalls and a pond erected by art director Santhanam at the Prasad Studios, and took about five days to shoot.

[7][8] Theatrical rights for Tamil Nadu was sold for a record ₹11 crore helped by previous Dhanush hits.

[10] G. Ulaganathan from Deccan Herald wrote that "While the lanky Dhanush does everything expected of him--fast dances, brilliant fights, and excellent dialogue delivery, the director lets him down with a silly story".

[11] M Bharat Kumar of News Today wrote "A gorgeous newcomer, good music and action-packed stunt sequences all find a place in the movie, yet one does not feel great at the end for no reason".

It's like the lead pair were asked to hop, jump and run all over the place without properly planned or convincing incidents for back-up.
