The film follows Pondy Paandi (Vijay Sethupathi), the son of a police inspector, who becomes involved in illegal activities. He falls in love with Kadhambari (Nayanthara), a deaf woman on a quest to get revenge against ruthless gangster Killivalavan (Parthiban).
Vignesh Shivan announced the project in April 2013, with composer Anirudh being initially cast as the protagonist. However, Anirudh opted out of the project and Gautham Karthik and Lavanya Tripathi were cast, with Gautham Vasudev Menon financing the project. In a turn of events, the project failed to materialise and in August 2014, Dhanush came on board to produce the film, while Sethupathi and Nayanthara were confirmed as the lead cast members.[4]
Principal photography commenced in December 2014 and ended in June 2015. The film was shot in Puducherry and Chennai over 75 days.[5] It was released worldwide on 21 October 2015.
