Reports in early 2013 suggested that Magizh Thirumeni would make a police film starring Arya and Samantha, though by February 2013, the actor came out and stated he had no dates available to commit. In August 2013, producer Hitesh Jhabak was able to unite the director and actor, revealing that the pair had signed terms to begin a film under his production house in late 2013. Shruti Haasan was reported to have been approached to play the lead female role in October 2013, though she refused to comment on the speculation. Taapsee Pannu, Arya's co-star in Arrambam (2013), has also been linked to the role. The team also later considered Hansika Motwani for the role. It was revealed that the film would feature seven actors in villainous roles, with North Indian actors Sudhanshu Pandey, Ashutosh Rana and Ashish Vidyarthi signed on to portray roles in the film. Avinash, Mahadevan, Maha Gandhi and Harish Uthaman were also subsequently later selected to complete the set of villains in the film. Anupama Kumar of Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal fame has also been roped in to portray an important role.
