Ramesh Thamilmani is back
The film marks the second association of Ramesh Thamilmani with Thala Dhoni. The director is known for his new age graphic novel, Atharva The Original, which featured Dhoni as a superhero and it looks like Dhoni was mighty impressed by the same.

Ensemble star cast
It's been a while since Nadiya Moidu was seen in Tamil and her character in the film is likely on the lines of a fun mother, like the one she played in M Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi. LGM will also mark the maiden collaboration between Harish Kalyan and Ivana. The presence of Yogi Babu is an icing on the cake. Ivana had revealed that unlike their previous venture, Love Today, she has many combination scenes with the ace comedian.

The shoot for Dhoni's maiden production has the reputation of being completed in a span of 37 days, which is said to be super fast, according to film standards. The entire crew comprised a young team, with Sakshi Dhoni at the helm of affairs on the production side.

A song in Kiliki language
Music for the film is by Ramesh Thamilmani himself. One of the highlights of the album is the song, Is Kis Kifa, which is based on Kiliki language with lyrics penned by Madhan Karky. There is a travel song and a montage as well.
