Starring Dushara Vijayan, Kalaiyarasan, Kalidas Jayaram, and Manisa Tait in the leading roles, the film explores the complexities of contemporary romance as well as the politics of love in today's world. Pa Ranjith's films mainly focus on caste and politics and with this film too, the director talked about similar aspects through a love story with LGBTQIA themes.

Before the film had been released, Pa Ranjith had said to The Hindu, "I didn’t want to write a regular love story between a man and a woman. So, I started exploring the love stories that are around us. This is not a film about queer love but queer characters are there in the film. They all come together to create a theatrical play that is against caste and honour killing."
