Development

In late March 2023, it was reported that Kavin would join hands with choreographer Sathish Krishnan for the latter's directorial debut.[1] Preethi Asrani, who acted previously in Ayothi (2023), was reportedly cast as the female lead.[2] Raahul's Romeo Pictures would fund the project.[3][4] The company made a public announcement on 26 May 2023, confirming the project, tentatively titled Kavin 6 and #RomeoPictures4.[5] By the end of the following December, the project, a romantic comedy film, was reported to be titled Kiss.[6] The reports were confirmed on 10 February 2025 through a first-look poster.[7] Sathish thanked Mysskin by inviting him to the inaugural puja that was held in May 2023 for granting him permission to use the title Kiss for which Mysskin had been holding the rights for many years.[8]

Along with Sathish, the dialogues of the film were written by Mugil and R Savari Muthu.[9] Initially, Anirudh Ravichander was announced as the music composer. However, the makers confirmed on 10 February 2025 that he was replaced with Jen Martin due to undisclosed reasons.[10][11] Alongside Jen Martin, the technical crew includes Harish Kannan as the cinematographer, RC Pranav as the editor,[12] Peter Hein as the stunt choreographer and Mohana Mahendiran as the art director.[13]

Filming

Principal photography commenced with an inaugural puja ceremony held on 26 May 2023 at a film city with the presence of the film's cast and crew.[10] Kavin shot for the film simultaneously with Star (2024). In April 2024, the makers stated that shooting neared completion. A song sequence was shot the same time, with the presence of Kavin and Prabhu, confirming the latter's inclusion in the film.[14] Filming wrapped on 22 January 2025.[15]
