Production
It was reported that Kalidas Jayaram would be acting in the bilingual film titled Rajni in Malayalam and Aval Peyar Rajni in Tamil.[5][6] The film is directed by debutant Vinil Scariah Varghese, who was mentored by Anwar Rasheed. Scariah said, "Although I developed the film in Malayalam, the producer felt there was scope of making it in both languages. Since half of the story was set in Chennai, making it bilingual made perfect sense."[7] He stated that the casting was done before the decision to make it bilingual. The film, which was under production in April 2023, was planned for release in May 2023.[8]
Vinil Scariah has penned the script for the film. The Tamil dialogues are written by David K. Rajan and the Malayalam dialogues are written by Vincent Vadakkan, who is known for Trance (2020).[1] Namitha Pramod was cast as the lead actress.[9][10] The bilingual film was earlier titled Rajni Rasigan in Tamil.[11] Kalidas is playing the role of a hard-core fan of Rajinikanth in the film. Shooting took place in Pollachi.[12] The filming wrapped up in April 2022.[13]
Release
The film was set for a release in 24, November 2023.[14] However, the film will be released on 8, December 2023.
