Production

edit

K. Manikandan announced his maiden directorial venture with the intention to make an independent art film, exclusively appealing for the audiences at international film festivals.[3] He had apparently decided to go ahead with the principal photography, based on his script, without aiming for a theatrical release, and he insisted that he did not want to include commercial elements for his film, which would otherwise deviate from his thought process.[3]

The principal photography of the film commenced in 2012 as a low budgeted film with INR ₹2 lakh and the production of the film was wrapped up in 2015.[13][6] Shashank Vennelakanti produced the film under his production banner G&K Vahinee Productions. R. Vasantha Kumar cranked the cinematography of the film while the editing was handled by Rajesh Ramakrishnan.[6][14]

Reception

edit

Despite the film responding with positive feedback from critics, director Manikandan himself felt unhappy about the final output of the film, calling it his amateurish work and admitting there were flaws in his filmmaking.[13]

Premiere

edit

The film was officially selected to be screened at the 2016 Bengaluru International Film Festival under the Indian Cinema Competition.[15][16] It was also chosen for screening at 16th edition of the New York Indian Film Festival in 2016.[17][18]
