Gautham Menon's romantic thriller Enai Noki Paayum Thota, starring Dhanush, went on floors in 2016 and its teaser was released in December that year. After a long break, the shoot resumed at the end of 2017, by which time, Dhanush had completed his directorial debut Pa Paandi and VIP 2. But the shooting was once again halted and Dhanush moved on to Vada Chennai, Maari 2 and his Hollywood debut The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir. Gautham Menon, too, went on to direct Dhruva Natchathiram. 

It was announced by the filmmaker early yesterday morning that the final schedule of ENPT is underway and scenes involving Sasikumar, who plays Dhanush's elder brother, will also be shot in this schedule. His tweet read: "Nothing makes more sense than being at a shoot. And when actors make it look so easy. ENPT in its final schedule and a special combination of Dhanush and Sasikumar. And suddenly realised it’s a combination of three directors too!" A source close to the unit says that this schedule will last for 10 days.
