The film is expected to reinvent Vishal as a rustic rural youngster after a long gap. He plays a bold and valorous lungi-clad labourer in a small town in this film. The film has been completely shot in and around Rajapalayam, a town in Virudhanagar district near Madurai. Sridivya plays the female lead in the film. Radharavi and RK Suresh of 'Thaarai Thappattai' fame play the baddies.

D.Imman has done the musical score and Velraj has handled the cinematography.

Vishal's long delayed 'Madha Gaja Raja' was earlier expected to release on May 13 and it was said that 'Marudhu' may be postponed to May 27. But now 'MGR' seems to have hit the roadblock again and Vishal has confirmed that 'Marudhu' will release on May 20.
