Stuntman Mustapha Touki, who had worked in films like Babel (2006), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) and Zero Dark Thirty (2012), was hired to choreograph the action and stunt sequences. Karunakaran was selected to play a supporting role. Elred Kumar, in an interview to The Times of India said that Ravi K Chandran and Jiiva wanted to pitch a story to him, and he was initially hesitant at first as he thought that Ravi K.

Karthik Krishnaswamy of Onlykollywood gave 3 out of 5 and summarised, \"Mundane tracks replete with elements from the composer\'s repertoire but thanks to two good numbers in \"Nenje Nenje\" and \"Aathangara Orathil\", it looks occasionally interesting.\" Siddarth Srinivas of Cinemalead gave 3 out of 5 and concluded, \"Stock disc material from Harris Jeyaraj, peppered with a jolt.\" Karthik of Milliblog gave a mixed review and said, \"But for \"Hey Lamba Lamba\" and \"Nenje Nenje\", Yaan is Yawn.\".
