The film is set to be a massive production, spanning 150 days of shooting across multiple locations worldwide, including Sri Lanka, London, Abu Dhabi, Azerbaijan, Thailand, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Kochi.
Beyond MMMN, Nayanthara has a packed schedule with upcoming films such as Test, Mannangatti Since 1960, Dear Students, and Rakkayie. She was last seen in the Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale.
