This film is being directed by Subramania Siva where Ameer is said to be sporting a character of a desperado with a local flavor. The shooting spot of the film has been in and around Saidapet and the neighboring slums.

Generally Ameer has the reputation of introducing realistic characters in his films and rendering opportunity to actors who have been forgotten by the industry.

Snehan will don the role of Ameer’s friend in the film and will be sharing the screen presence with him.
