LGM marks the maiden outing of Dhoni Production, which is spearheaded by MS Dhoni and his wife Sakshi Dhoni. The film has been originally made in Tamil. A spokesperson from the production house had said, "Thala Dhoni really enjoyed LGM. He watched the film recently and found it to be a clean film that one could watch with their entire family. Though it was Mrs Dhoni's concept, Thala was the one who told us that we start our maiden production with a Tamil film, due to his love for the people here and their love for him."

The Tamil version, which hit screens on July 28, opened to negative reviews with many trashing the film for its badly written plot and weak screenplay. OTTplay critic P Sangeetha wrote, "Director Ramesh Thamilmani's LGM is so uninteresting and exasperating due to its weak screenplay, poorly etched characters, cliches and forced humour that you soon run out of patience.In short, his debut film, LGM is what one would call Thala's worst innings till date!"
