Director Selvaraghavan had his last movie NGK released this year, and the movie produced by Dream warrior pictures had Suriya, Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles and music by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Before NGK, Selvaraghavan had started two movies which are yet to be released.

One of the two delayed movies is Nenjam Marappathillai, which is said to be a horror flick, and the movie stars SJ Suryah, Regina Cassandra and Nandita Swetha in lead roles. The movie brought back the combo of Selvaraghavan, music director Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematographer Arvind Krishna after Pudhupettai.

While the release of the movie was announced in 2017, it did not work out and the release got delayed. Now, Yuvan Shankar Raja has shared a new poster of Nenjam Marappathillai on Facebook and has captioned it "Nenjam Marappathillai - Coming soon". This has made fans of Selvaraghavan happy, as they have been waiting for more than 2 years for the release.
