Production
Kathir, being an inveterate surfer of the cybercafes of Chennai and Bangalore, decided to make a film on what he felt the internet could develop and be used for - romance. The film came as a successor to his 1996 blockbuster Kadhal Desam produced by K. T. Kunjumon.
Actor Shaam was amongst the auditionees for the debut lead role, before Kunal Singh was selected after Kathir spotted him outside a Bangalore cybercafe. The North Indian youngster had been in Bangalore only to bulk up his body before joining the army, but with the offer chose to make a career in films. Sonali Bendre was signed on to play the lead role in the film, thus making her debut in South Indian films. Reports that Lara Dutta, Laila Rouass and Rani Jeyraj would play cameo roles proved to be untrue. Instead Rambha appeared in an item number in the film.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.”
—Ernest Gellner (b. 1925)
