Hansika will start shooting for her portions first while Siva Karthikeyan will join the team from the first week of August.
The film was named after a dialogue spoken by Dhamu in Gemini (2002), where he explains that Maan Karate means nothing more than how a deer runs away when in danger, The film has been titled so because whenever there is a problem in his life, the hero Sivakarthikeyan fails to face them and runs for cover instead.
The shooting of the film has been completed and has entered post production phase. The climax was shot in a very grand set location in chennai. The outdoor set for the climax alone was set up at a staggering cost of INR 3 crores. Debutante Art director S. Rajamohan has already drawn in praise from critics and fellow artists for the massive set and grand feel to this "Fantasy" movie. A teaser was released on the midnight of Valentine's Day and received positive feedback. The audio and the trailer released on 16 March and also received very positive feedback and is a blockbuster.
