Production
The film began production in 2017 and was to mark the debut of Priyanka Mohan.[1] Ramu Chellappa, the director of Engitta Modhathey (2017), wrote the story for the film.[2] The film was shot in haunted house set in Coimbatore in 2018 for several days.[3][2] The delay of the film meant that the film was promoted as a Priyanka Mohan starrer although Sushma Raj had more screentime.[2] Ratsasan-fame San Lokesh was initially supposed the be the editor of the film.[2]

Reception
A critic from Maalai Malar wrote that it is a pity that the first half is exciting and the second half is dull. The critic added that the director could have paid a little more attention to the screenplay.[4]
Controversy
After realising that a portion of the film was removed, the producer subsequently filed a police complaint in an attempt to regain his lost money from the film's failure. Priyanka Mohan reportedly approached DSR Films to have 20 minutes of her scenes removed including bedroom scenes and two songs since it will affect her family audience image. However, the producer himself wasn't informed and he felt the film underperformed due to this.[1][5][6][7][8]
Home media
The film was made available on the director's YouTube channel in 2024.[3]
