Vijay Antony, who is also the producer and music composer of Lawyer, has said that he approached Joshua after watching Gentlewoman. “I asked him whether he had any films in hand for me. He came to meet me the very next day, and the project was ‘on.’ I got emotional when Joshua narrated the film’s script (which is an emotional commercial story) to me.” Vijay, who was impressed with his thought process, decided to produce the film too. “We then started the film’s shoot within two-and-a-half months,” he added.
