In March 2020, Dhruv Vikram, who debuted as an actor with Adithya Varma (2019), was reported to star in the lead role of Mari Selvaraj's directorial venture after Karnan (2021). E4 Entertainment, which produced Dhruv's debut film, would reportedly fund the venture. On 31 December, the collaboration of Dhruv and Mari was publicly announced through their respective social media accounts, tentatively titled DV03. A few days later, Pa. Ranjith announced he would produce the project under his banner Neelam Studios. Ranjith also funded Mari's directorial debut Pariyerum Perumal (2018). In January 2021, Mari stated "The film is based on the life story of a sportsperson and this is going to showcase their lives in a raw and lively manner which has not been shown in Tamil cinema before".
