Director Arivazhagan of Kuttram 23 fame confirmed last year that he'll be doing a film with Nayanthara as well as with Malayalam actor Manju Warrier. Putting an end to speculations that he'd pitched the same script to both of them, the director clarified with a tweet that read, "I want to make it clear that the script that I wrote for Nayanthara is completely a psychological thriller and not the script I spoke about to Manju Warrier earlier, which was a family thriller."

Talking to CE about the projects, Arivazhagan says, "The Nayanthara-starrer is a script that requires a good production house, and we're yet to zero in on one. The film will be a psychological thriller made tailor made for Nayanthara. I'll reveal more about the film as we confirm the rest of the cast and crew. I also saw reports that the film will commence from February, but that's not true either. As far as the other project is concerned, that'll happen post the Nayanthara film but the script for it is locked."
