Cast
Vimal as Madhiyazhagan Mooriyar
Anandhi as llaiyarani
Prabhu as Aiya/Govindaraja Mooriyar, Madhiyazhagan's father
In May 2015, Boopathy Pandian announced that his next film would be a "comedy entertainer" featuring Vimal in the lead role, while actor Sathyaraj would play Vimal's father in the film. Escape Artists Motion Pictures were revealed as the film's producers and stated that the film would begin production during late 2015. The film began production during December 2015 in Alathur, ThanjavurPattukottai, Madukkur, Keeramangalam and Thambikkottai, with Karthik Kumar joining the team. The film went through a change of producers in early 2016, with Arasu Films briefly attached to the project before Vemal took over as the main producer with his newly launched A3V Cinemaz. He thus chose to prioritise the production of Mannar Vagaiyara and opted against working on other projects simultaneously. As a result of his busy schedule, Prabhu replaced Sathyaraj in the film, while Anandhi was signed on as the female lead. Soori was supposed to work on the film, but his busy schedule meant that Robo Shankar later took the role, and parodied Dhanush's character in Maari as a part of his character. Production continued throughout 2016 but was delayed in December following the effects of Cyclone Vardah. The team planned to release the film for the Pongal season of 2018, but were forced to delay due to a lack of screens. Vimal had written an emotional letter to theatre owners to screen his film for Pongal, but later accepted to delay the film for two weeks. The Satellite rights of this movie sold to Zee Tamil.
Soundtrack
The film's music was composed by Jakes Bejoy, and the soundtrack was released on 3 January 2018 through New Music.
Release
Tamil Nadu theatrical rights of the film were sold for 5.5 crore.
