Selvaraghavan, who has been in the industry for almost two decades as a director, will be debuting as an actor with the upcoming crime thriller, Saani Kaayidham, alongside the National-Award-winning actor Keerthy Suresh. The film will be helmed by director Arun Matheswaran, who is waiting for the release of his first film Rocky, starring Tharamani-fame Vasanth Ravi, Bharathiraja, and Raveena Ravi.

The title announcement was made along with the first look poster of the film featuring Selvaraghavan and Keerthy Suresh's characters facing a bunch of goons, as seen from behind the duo. While Keerthy is shown wielding a gun and having a blood-stained sickle tucked in her saree, Selvaraghavan is seen wearing short trousers and holding a knife in his hand. 

The film, produced by Screen Scene, is said to be based on a true story that happened during the 1980s. The makers are yet to make an official announcement about the rest of the cast and crew.
