Balaji, who is known for appearing in films like Naaigal Jaakirathai, Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi, and Kanaa, previously tried his hand at direction with comedy sketch videos like Husbanned and Theri Baby for Madras Meter YouTube channel. He shares that Lucky Man will be a fun, heart-warming film for everyone in the family.

He says, “Lucky Man will be like a soulful meal made at home by our loved ones. I have tried to package multiple socially relevant themes in the film while keeping the fun element intact.” He goes on to clarify that the film is completely different from the 1996 Pratap Pothen-Karthik fantasy drama of the same name. “We had a couple of titles on our mind, but Lucky Man suited the script and it will be nice to reuse the title of a film that we really enjoyed.
