Less than two days after the film was officially announced, the makers of Akkenam, starring Arun Pandian and Keerthi Pandian, dropped the lyrical video of the film's first single on Thursday.

Titled 'Mellali,' the romantic number composed by Barath Veeraraghavan is sung by Pradeep Kumar and Aishwerya Radhakrishnan, with Karthik Netha penning the lyrics.

Apart from Arun and Keerthi Pandian, the film, directed by Uday K, also stars Adithya Shivpink, Ramesh Thilak, and GM Sundar. Backed by Arun Pandian's A & P Groups, the film's technical crew comprises cinematographer Vignesh Govindarajan, music composer Barath Veeraraghavan, editor Devathyan, art director Raja, and stunt director PC Stunts.

The film marks the directorial debut of Uday K, who, in an exclusive interview with CE, said the title is the verbal translation of the Tamil Aayutha Ezhuthu. The film's story is said to be revolving around the lives of three important characters, which corresponds to the three-dotted letter in Tamil.

Uday K has previously made the short film Yakkai Thiri in 2022 with Dushara Vijayan in the lead, which received critical acclaim. Apart from Arun Pandian and Keerthi Pandian, the film also features Adithya Shivpink playing the role of the antagonist. Ramesh Thilak, GM Sundar, Adithya Menon, and Seetha play supporting roles.
