The film stars an ensemble cast with Santhanam and Surbhi in the lead roles and Redin Kingsley, Maran and Pradeep Rawat in supporting roles. The film is a stand-alone sequel to Dhilluku Dhuddu 2 and the third film in the Dhilluku Dhuddu film series.

It received positive reviews from critics and became commercially successful at box office. Plot Cast Production In mid-2019, Rambhala announced his intentions of making a third part to his Dhilluku Dhuddu film series featuring Santhanam in the lead role and was referred to as Dhilluku Dhuddu 3 during production. The film was reported to be shot in 3D and expected to be produced by Chowdhary of 18 Reels Entertainment. Following a period of stagnation, Rambhala's assistant Prem Anand took over as the project director in early 2022, following creative differences between the director and Santhanam. The film subsequently marked the second project of Prem Anand, who had earlier worked with Santhanam on the comedy series Lollu Sabha and had co-directed the film Inimey Ippadithan (2015).
