In 2013, Govindamurthy approached producer Ambeth Kumar with a script of Pappali (2014), who readily agreed to produce the venture after listening to his narration. He revealed that the team signed on Senthil Kumar and Ishara Nair to work on the film, as the team could not afford bigger stars and could not afford to wait for their dates.[3][4] The film was released on 2014 went unnoticed and received poor reviews with a critic from Sify.com noting that the film "is a crude and crass comedy laced with sentiments", adding the "film lacks technical finesse and is difficult to sit through".[5]
