Cheran and Gautham Karthik will play siblings in the movie. Cheran will play the elder brother while Karthik will be seen as an energetic youth named Shakthi. The story revolves around a temple festival in a village and how the family members get involved in various problems due to circumstances. Anandham Vilayadum Veedu will also mark the debut of Shivathmika Rajashekhar. The shooting was completed last month and the post-production works are being done at a brisk pace considering the COVID-19 situation.

The director also revealed that the story is in lines of Karthik starrer Varusham 16, which was the remake of the Malayalam movie Ennennum Kannettante. Varusham 16 was a big commercial hit in Tamil Nadu and ran for over 100 days.Nanda Periyasamy rose to fame with his debut movie Oru Kalluriyin Kadhal, starring Arya and Sonia Agarwal. The writer/director last wrote the script for the Bollywood movie Rashmi Rocket starring Tapsee Pannu.

Meanwhile, Cheran, who is going through a rough career decline, will be looking for a comeback with Anandham Vilayadum Veedu. The actor was last seen in the thriller Rajavukku Check, which failed at the box office and was criticised for sloppy execution despite having quality actors and a story with potential. Gautham Karthik, on the other hand, had things going for him after the moderate success of Devarattam. Although the movie was criticised for its casteist narrative, it became a commercial success. The actor is currently working on a handful of projects like Pathu Thala and Sippai.
