Sivakarthikeyan, who has produced films like Vaazhl, Doctor, and Don, will now be presenting Kurangu Pedal under his banner Sivakarthikeyan Productions. The film is expected to have a summer release, while the release date of the film is yet to be announced.
The teaser begins with a young boy questioning why they have to walk, to which his mother answers that he can study, earn and buy himself even an airplane to travel, as the child wonders if education is a must even to buy a means of transportation. The teaser hints that the film is set in a rural place, with the film's protagonists mainly to be child artists.

Backed by Sivakarthikeyan, Savitha Shanmugam and SuMee Baskaran, the film has music by Ghibran Vaibodha. Shivanandeeswaran and SuMee Baskaran have handled editing and cinematography respectively.
Kurangu Pedal was screened at the Indian Panorama section of the 53rd International Film Festival of India, Goa. The film is about a young boy’s attempt to learn how to ride a bicycle during his summer holidays.
Speaking with OTTplay earlier, the director had called making a children's film “gruelling, risky and tedious”. He also added that one has to let go of their ego and be willing to unlearn and go to the children’s level of thinking. “But at the same time, you need to think five years ahead. If you do not update yourself, you will get exposed in front of them,” he said.
