Agni Nachathiram was the story of two half-brothers and how their relationship transformed with time. It had Prabhu and Karthik in lead roles.

Bejoy worked as an assistant director for Mani Ratnam before he went on to make films in Hindi.

The lead actress for the film’s Hindi version is yet to be finalised.
