The shooting was halted for some time as the director was finding an actress to play the second fiddle. It is said that Taapsee Pannu was approached but she could not take up due to her other commitments.

Idhu Namma Aalu shooting has almost been completed. Only Andrea Jeremiah and Simbu's portions are remaining to be shot. The prime attraction of the movie is Simbu and Nayantara, who have teamed up again after their break up a few years ago. The film is expected to release later this year.
