Speaking about the film, director Justin Prabhu says, “Vembu is a realistic take on an individual’s life. How they step out of the comfort zone of their families, battle societal odds, and how situations turn them into great personalities forms the crux of this story. This film will appeal to the interests of audiences from all walks of life.

He adds, "Vembu revolves around a father, and a cousin, who is engaged to his fiancee and provides complete support and strength to her. This, in turn, creates a revolution in society. We have tried projecting a theme and message that will protect the people in such a way that even police and government cannot afford to. "

The director had earlier made a short film titled Kuppai Kaaran. "The short is based on the daily lives of cleaners and I bagged an international award for the same. I worked as an assistant in a few important movies. Since I hail from a village, I project things from the perspective of an ordinary man. All my movies will be based on socially responsible themes.”
