Production

The film was produced by Shankar Thiyagarajan of Ascii Media Hut, for whom it is their debut production. Shankar stated he had the urge to do something experimental and pitched the idea of a horror anthology to various filmmakers, eventually getting 30 young story writers who were interested. They then shortlisted five, and with Shankar's own film, it became six short films.^[3] In addition, for most of the directors, it is their debut film, with the exception of Cable Sankar, who had previously directed Thottal Thodarum (2015). Ajayan Bala also has experience in the industry, having written the screenplay for films such as Chennaiyil Oru Naal (2013) and Manithan (2016). Shankar Thiyagaran initially titled the film Hexa, with the tagline of 6 Athiyayam, but later made the tagline the title.^[3]

Soundtrack

The film's audio track was released on 30 October 2017 in a function attended by leading Tamil directors Cheran, Parthiban, Vetrimaran, A. Venkatesh, Arivazhagan and producer G. Dhananjayan.^[4] Composer Sam C. S. worked on a promotional song for the film and selected Kavitha Thomas to sing the track.^[5]
