While his directorial 'Master' starred by Thalapathy Vijay and packed with top actors like Malavika Mohanan, and Vijay Sethupathy is yet to get released on the big screens in the wake of the indefinite closures of the theaters and cinema halls owing to the COVID-19 outbreak and restrictions, Lokesh Kanagaraj had recently stirred the speculations after he announced about his next venture.

The poster reads, "Once Upon a time there lived a ghost", which signaled whether it would the mixture of crime and horror. The poster carried 'Summer 2021', however, it was not clear whether the movie will be released in 2021 and it would begin the shooting.
