Alongside Sivakarthikeyan and Biju Menon, the film boasts an impressive cast, including Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal, Shabeer Kallarakkal, and Vikranth.

The movie is production of Sri Lakshmi Movies, with cinematography handled by Sudeep Elamon and music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The editing is in the capable hands of Sreekar Prasad, known for his association with legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam.
The action sequences, a major highlight of the film, have been choreographed by stunt expert Kevin Kumar, while Deepali Noor has designed the costumes. To elevate the visual spectacle, three studios—Knack Studios, Phantom FX, and BeastBells—are working on the VFX.
