Speaking about how Konjam Pesinaal Yenna came into being, Girimurphy tells Silverscreen, "The producer contacted me after seeing my short films. He asked if I could work on a love story and I pitched this one, which he liked. We then developed it."

"As a director, I like to make films rooted in reality. Konjam Pesinaal Yenna is a story about a girl who likes a boy at her school, but she doesn't express her feelings. Whether she can get together with him, later in life, when the boy is not even aware of the girl’s existence, forms the crux of the story. Usually, movies portray men pursuing women, but I have reversed the idea. I would like to break the stereotypes of female characters in films and also avoid their objectification in item songs and such," Girimurphy had told Silverscreen.

Konjam Pesinaal Yenna, which went on floors last year, was wrapped up in February this year. Extensively shot in Bengaluru and Madurai, Konjam Pesinaal Yenna is in the post-production stage.
