While the cinematography is by Karthik Palani, editing is by Praveen KL. Jani Master has done the choreography. The first look of the film was released on the occasion of Vijay's 48th birthday. The film has been bankrolled by Sri Venkateshwara Creations. This is Vijay's 66th film as an actor. Vijay has not had a release for Pongal in a long time and the news has caused a great excitement among fans. It's Varisu Pongal indeed and it's time for celebration by Vijay fans.
