Talking about the flick, story teller Balaji K Kumar of Vidiyum Mun fame said, “Kolai is inspired by the infamous murder of model Dorothy King. Vijay Antony essays the role of Vinayak, a detective who is working on solving the case.” Talking about the scripting efforts involved for the project, he said, “I did nearly 40 rough drafts before finalizing the final piece of work.
