Kannan would be making a film named Nambiar and had approached actor - music composer Vijay Antony to play the title role. However, due to his prior commitments, he agreed to compose music for the film. Comedy actor Santhanam was approached to play another role sharing the same screen length with the lead actor. Actress Sunaina was signed in to play the female lead role. Srikanth's wife Vandana makes her entry as the costume designer of the film.^[3]
