Casting
In September 2011, producer A. M. Rathnam confirmed that he is working in a project with Ajith Kumar. Initially, the producer wanted Anushka Shetty to do the role, but she was not able to allot dates as she was busy with other Tamil films. Later Nayantara was confirmed as the female lead. Next Vishnuvardhan approached Arya for another lead role. Thus collabrating with him for the fourth time after Arinthum Ariyamalum, Pattiyal and Sarvam. Yuvan Shankar Raja is scoring the music for this film. Richa Gangopadhyay was Vishnu’s preferred choice for the second female lead. Later Taapsee Pannu was selected for her role. Ashwin Kakumanu, who played a cop in Ajith's earlier Mankatha, will be seen in a significant role in the movie. It is also reported that Arvind Swamy and Prithviraj will play pivoted roles and leading Telugu actors Nagarjuna, Ravi Teja and Jagapathi Babu will be seen in a cameo appearance in the film. Mahesh Manjrekar will be essaying the role of a villain in the film. Suman Ranganathan would be seen in the role of a reporter making her comeback. Furthermore, the director approached Rana Daggubati for an important role in this film. It is confirmed that Rana Daggubati will do a “special appearance”. Rana took part in the shooting of this multi starrer flick in Mumbai in the third week of August.

Filming
The film went on floors in Chennai at the Viswaroopa Sai temple on May 31, 2012. The first schedule of the movie started on June 2, 2012 with portions involving Ajith Kumar, Nayantara and Arya. The first shoot schedule was likely to continue till the end of June in Mumbai, based on the weather in the city, but it was later called off due to the south west monsoon and the location was shifted to Bangalore and later shifted to Hyderabad to avoid the crowd. Ajith will be retaining his salt and pepper look from his earlier film, Mankatha. Vishnuvardhan in a recent interview opened up about the film that "I am planning to work on a drama, more on family action drama. It will not be very urban this time. I want to have an all-together new look for Ajith sir this time. I want to switch to hard core reality. I am giving too much of an information (guffaws!). Once I develop the script and the premise ready, the exact look will automatically fall in place. I am also collecting lots of visual references. Ajith sir is going to look stunning in my film and I am sure about it(sic)".
Soundtrack
Yuvan Shankar Raja has roped in Kabilan Vairamuthu to pen lyrics for a song in this film.
