Development

In mid-April 2021, XB Film Creators announced their second project after Master under the tentative title Production No: 2 directed by Vishnuvardhan, introducing Akash Murali, son of actor Murali and the younger brother of Atharvaa.[3] Akash who had married Sneha in August 2020 is the daughter of the film's producer Xavier Britto.[6] Aditi Shankar was announced as the lead actress making her third venture, while she was simultaneously shooting for Maaveeran.[4][7] In November 2023, Shiv Panditt who was last seen in Leelai (2012) was speculated to make his return to Tamil Cinema after 12 years for a special appearance along with Kalki Koechlin who previously worked together in Shaitan (2011).[8] The official title was revealed in June 2024.[1][9] In early July 2024 it was confirmed that Kalki Koechlin who was earlier seen in Nerkonda Paarvai (2019) and Paava Kadhaigal (2020) is seen to have portrayed a role of a Portugal based lawyer named Indira.[5]

Music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, editor A. Sreekar Prasad, cinematographer Cameron Eric Bryson and production designer Saravanan Vasanth were chosen for the technical crew.[10]

Filming

Despite announcing in 2021, the principal photography commenced in March 2023 after a two-year delay. It was shot sporadically in several legs with filming locations including Portugal, Spain, and India, and wrapped by mid-February 2024.[11]
