Production

In September 2016, producer C. V. Kumar of Thirukumaran Entertainment announced a new project directed by newcomer Janakiraman, who assisted Sudha Kongara during the production of Irudhi Suttru. Janakiraman stated that the film would be on the "romance of three couples, each one coming from a different backdrop".[1] For the lead male roles, Kalaiyarasan, Kaali Venkat and Varma Ramaswamy (of Agathinai fame) were selected. Anandhi was signed to portray Kalaiyarasan's pair, whereas Madhu Shalini and Madhumitha were selected play the love interests of Varma and Kaali Venkat respectively. Nivas K. Prasanna was signed as the composer of the film and V. S. Tharun Balaji, was selected as the cinematographer.[2]

The film entered production during the same month of September, with combination scenes involving the three lead actors were shot within three days.[3] In a turn of events, Ashna Zaveri later replaced Madhu Shalini, while cinematographer Balaji was replaced by Ballu who earlier worked on Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuththu and Ghajinikanth.[4] Meanwhile, debutant Radhakrishnan Dhanapal was introduced as an editor of this film, working alongside his commitments on upcoming C. V. Kumar directorial Gangs Of Madras. Shooting of the film took place within Chennai, Kodaikanal, Coimbatore and Bangalore, and major portions of the film were completed during the end of December 2017.[5] The team also entered post-production soon after filming completed. On 29 December 2017, the makers announced the title of the film as Titanic, with the tagline Kadhalum Kavundhu Pogum, a parody of the 2016 film Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum, which Kumar had produced.[6][7]
