Cast

Production

In November 2013, Kuzhandhai Velappan and Kreshna announced that they would make a film titled Idhayam, and that the latter had purchased the title rights from the makers of the 1991 film of the same name.[2] The film underwent a title change from Idhayam to Yaakkai in November 2014, after the team had shot for six days and had cast Prakash Raj as a police officer and Swathi Reddy as the heroine.[3][4][5] The film was later put on hold until the completion of the lead pair's other ongoing project, Yatchan (2015).

The film then progressed throughout 2016, with Guru Somasundaram joining the cast to portray an antagonist in the film.[6] Shoots were predominantly held in college campuses across Chennai, while scenes were also shot in Coimbatore, Ooty and Kothagiri.[7] The film entered it's post-production stages in July 2016, with Kreshna dubbing for his portions in a single day.[8]
