After completion of the first schedule, Rio's upcoming film Ram in Leela has entered its second phase of shooting. Announcing the same, he shared pictures of the cast and crew taking instructions from the director on set and wrote, "Mangalagarama Kovil la Aarambikrom! 2nd schedule Started With full of smile and going on full swing Entertainment Gets Doubled." As reported earlier, the romantic entertainer has newcomer Vartika playing the female lead. It will be directed by Ramachandran Kannan.

The makers had previously unveiled a few posters of Rio and Vartika which suggested that the story will revolve around the highs and lows of a relationship, and the everyday chaos of living with a partner.

Rio's last film Aan Paavam Pollathathu, directed by Kalaiarasan Thangavel, revolved around his struggles to accept his wife's modern, progressive attitudes, which creates tension in their marriage. It released in theatres in October.

On the technical team, Ram in Leela has 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.
