Production

Lakshman, who had previously ventured into films as producer of Kalvanin Kadhali (2006), announced that he would make his first venture as a director with a film titled Romeo Juliet featuring Jayam Ravi in the lead role.^[2] The director had initially finalised Nayantara to play the leading female role but did not want to repeat her pairing with Jayam Ravi, as the pair were working on another production, Raja's Thani Oruvan, at the time of casting. Subsequently he chose to cast Hansika Motwani in a leading role instead.^[3] A photoshoot was then hold and promotional stills featuring the lead pair were released to the media in late March 2014.^[4] Hansika revealed that she would play a girl with a "futuristic attitude", while Jayam Ravi's character would be more conservative in the romantic comedy.^[5]
