Vidaa Muyarchi is being bankrolled by Lyca Productions, and recent rumours of the film's shelving have been debunked by the production company. The film remains firmly on track and is a highly anticipated project among Ajith Kumar's fans.

Originally, the project was announced with director Vignesh Shivan, but the production house later appointed director Magizh Thirumeni due to creative differences with the former.  Vignesh said, "AK62 is a disappointment for me. There's no mistake from Ajith Kumar's side. Production is not happy with the second half. I am happy that the opportunity went to someone like Magizh Thirumeni".
