Development

In August 2013, Adhi, the lead singer of Hiphop Tamizha (HHT) revealed that he had been signed as lead for a full-length feature film based on HHT which was expected to released by the mid of 2014. He also stated that there was a search for a suitable director to helm the spec script.[2] After a brief development hell, during October 2016, a 90–second teaser was released on HHT's official YouTube channel,[3] as news emerged that the film being titled as "Meesaya Murukku" produced by Sundar C. for Avni Movies, who green lit the project within five minutes of his narration and insisted him to perform as lead actor, after being impressed with his video song on Jallikattu, "Takkaru Takkaru".[1] Apart from debuting as actor in a full-length role, Adhi also serves as writer and director besides composing the score and writing lyrics for the film.[4] In the press meet before release of the film, Sundar C.confirmed that it was partly biographical of Adhi's life.[5]

Casting

As revealed in 2013, Adhi continued to be lead actor and chose Aathmika to pair for him, after coming across her Facebook profile.[1] The film also features Vivek and Vijayalakshmi in supporting roles, where the former plays the father of Adhi's character.[6][7][8] The film features a mostly new cast and crew as per Adhi's wishes, with being Vivek the only established actor.[9]

Filming

Though pre-production began in August 2013,[2] the film, as of October 2016, was reported to have completed 45 days of shoot with two songs left to be shot.[1] Filming ended by early November 2016.[10]

Music

Untitled

Adhi composed the music of the film. A promotional song, "Sait Ji", was released in late 2016.[11] Although it became a viral hit on YouTube, Sundar C. received a legal notice from Ashok G Lodha of Shri All India Shwetamber Sthanakwasi Jain Conference. Lodha objected to the words "Sait Ji", meaning "affluent trader", and demanded that they be removed from the song, feeling it was "a classic example of abuse of the (Jain) community in the name of creativity and art." Sundar C obliged, and had the words removed not only from the song, but also from the finished film and the word Saitji was replaced by Great ji.[12] The YouTube video itself was deleted later.[13][14]
