Sundar C candidly admitted he had a director's block before five years and wanted to take a break from direction. After having acted in successful movies, he says he is in full shape to get to where he actually belonged. Nagaram's storyline is quite intriguing as described by the director himself. He says that the end point of any story, a happy ending or sad will be the starting point of this movie. He has told that it is a different concept and will surely be accepted by the masses. Nagaram will also be the first time Sundar C has directed and acted in the same movie.

Another high point of the movie would be the combination of Sundar C and Vadivelu in this movie. The duo is getting back on screen after a long gap as well. Vadivelu's earlier ventures with Sundar C, Giri, Winner and Thalai Nagaram, have been classics. It is told that Vadivelu will have a new get-up and is donning the character of 'Style' Pandi in this movie. "The comedy portions will bring the roof down. This will be better our previous combinations”, assures the director.

Anuya, expecting another hit, is the heroine of the movie. Sundar C has been all praises for the heroine in interviews. He even said that she had the liberty to view her opinions about costumes and dialogue deliveries on Nagaram’s sets. She can be seen in a totally different role unlike a normal heroine who runs around trees.

Another plus is Thaman's music which has already struck the right chord with the audience. As the story demanded less-than-normal dialogues, Thaman has worked magic in the re-recording of the movie. Cinematography is by Chelladurai, who has been an assistant to cinematographer and director KV Anand. The cuts and chops department has been the responsibility of Praveen KL and Srikanth NB.

With a reputed director and a popular hero in Sundar C, Vadivelu's comedy track and Thaman's music, Nagaram Maruppakkam is set to wow audience on the 19th of November, 2010.
