Production
On 12 July 2021, Jyothika and Suriya, headers of 2D Entertainment, stated that their production venture Soorarai Pottru (2020), was to be remade in Hindi. Furthermore, they stated that the director of the original film, Sudha Kongara, would direct the remake and they would collaborate with Vikram Malhotra, header of Abundantia Entertainment, to fund it. Reportedly, one of the actors Ajay Devgn, John Abraham, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan were considered to play the role that Suriya played in the original. The actor was reported to be finalised going by their availability. In August, the co-producer of the original film, Sikhya Entertainment, had approached Madras High Court; as initially the production house was to be co-producing the remake along with 2D Entertainment, however, the latter house sold the rights to Abundantia Entertainment, without the former houses’ consent. By early September, the case was closed, with Sikhya Entertainment not involved in the production side. Akshay Kumar was announced on 25 April 2022 to play the role of Suriya. A muhurat puja was held the same day in Mumbai with the presence of the film’s cast and crew. Radhika Madan was cast, pairing opposite Kumar.
