The film features a soundtrack composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, whilst Thaman S's original score has been reused.

The film, produced by Raja's father Editor Mohan and distributed by Sun Pictures, was released on 23 July 2010.

Krishna is a happy-go-lucky youth who excels in every field but always does strange and dangerous things to obtain a certain "kick" – a thrill or excitement that he craves.

At Malaysia, Nisha, her sister, and Jackson run into Krishna again but learn that he has lost his memory and cannot remember his past life.

His motives are simple; he steals ill-gotten money from politicians to pay for operations of children suffering from cancer.

After the Telugu film Kick, directed by Surender Reddy and starring Ravi Teja, Ileana D'Cruz and Shaam, which was released in early May 2009, went on to become highly successful at the box office, 'Editor' Mohan, father of Mohan Raja and Jayam Ravi, purchased the remake rights for the Tamil version, paying an "astronomical amount", less than one month later.

For the lead role, played by Ravi Teja in the original version, several popular actors, including Vijay[2] and R. Madhavan[2] were considered and approached.

[4] The lead female role, originally played by Ileana D'Cruz, was eventually won by Tamannaah Bhatia.

[6] Also actress Bhanu, who had starred in the films Thaamirabharani and the very recently released Azhagar Malai, was approached for the role.

It was said, that yesteryear actor Karthik was initially considered and approached for the role, before Prabhu Ganesan was finally confirmed.

[8] Apart from Vadivelu and Santhanam, the film stars an array of comedians such as J. Livingston, Mayilsamy, Ganja Karuppu, Manobala, Thyagu and Sathyan as well.

[12][14] The launch was attended by many prominent people from the Tamil film industry as Tamil Film Producers Council chief Ramanarayanan, KRG, Abirami Ramanathan, S. A. Chandrasekhar, R. B. Chowdhary, Ram Kumar, Kasthuri Raja, PL Thenappan, actor Karthi and actress Khushbu Sundar among others.

[13][14] The film was shot at various locations, including Chennai (India), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Bangkok (Thailand) and Singapore.

[19] It was filmed using a Nero motion control camera that revolves on a 360 degree angle set, which was handled by an Australian specialist Scott and would later look like a single shot.

The film had a solo release on 23 July 2010, opening to mixed and negative reviews unlike the original Telugu version.
