After Aan Paavam Pollathathu, Rio Raj is currently gearing up for the release of Ram in Leela. However, the film went through a small title change in the last minute, ahead of its August 21 release.

The film, which marks the directorial debut of Ramachandran Kannan, cleared censorship formalities on Tuesday, receiving a U/A censorship certificate. Along with the procedure, the film, also starring Vartika, had its title changed to Ram and Leela. The title seems to have gone through a change due to the double entendre insinuation.

The recently released trailer of Ram and Leela shows Rio's Ram lamenting about being rejected by multiple brides, as it cuts to scenes from various ponnu pakura functions with Ram facing multiple conditions for marriage. When he is frustrated and almost gives up on marriage, he meets Vartika's Leela in the train and falls for her. She is also in love with him but has one small condition. She will not be able to see him after 6 pm. We also see a friend character who is equally concerned about Ram. The trailer suggests that Ram's male friend transforms into a female, Leela, thereby bringing chaos and confusion to his life. The film promises to be a fun-filled romantic comedy.

The film also stars Balaji Thiyagarajan Dayalan, Munishkanth, Chetan, Deepa Venkat, Malavika Avinash, and Nayana Elza, among others. It marks the acting debut of Vartika. On the technical team, Ram and Leela have music by Ankit Menon, cinematography by Mallikarjun, and editing by YNC Shiva. The film is backed by R Ravindran and Sudharsan. Trident Arts and Eywa Entertainment are the banners backing the film.

Upon its release, the film will clash with Modha Rathri, starring Rishikanth and Anishma Anilkumar, at the box office, while Elan's sophomore Pyaar Prema Kalyanam, also starring Saanve Megghanna, is set to premiere on Netflix on the same day.
