Kalai Sakthi is handling cinematography, and Saran Kumar is composing music. Rajesh is the editor, Karthi is the art director and Anand is the stunt choreographer. The film has been shot across the exotic locales of Chennai and Kodaikanal. Shedding lights on the film, director Dhamotharan Selvakumar says, “The entire film comprises young technicians, who have gained immense knowledge about technology by working in various short films. They have an intense passion for films, and we have made this film as a family. We have completed the film amidst severe challenges and pressures. We have shot the film even in the deepest remote locations, where the vehicles cannot travel. Shooting in these locations was a huge challenge as it was a habitat of Tigers, Wild buffalos, and many wild animals. I am confident that audience will have a new-fangled experience watching this film. I am glad and elated that eminent personalities of Tamil movie industry like Vijay Sethupathi, GV Prakash Kumar, Aari and Vedhika appreciated our first look, and came forward to extend their support to launching them on their respective social media pages. We are planning to release Aathmika in February 2022.”
