Production

Shyam Kumar had approached music composer Anirudh Ravichander hoping to cast him in the lead role for the film. After listening to the script and liking the concept, Anirudh made the offer on making his acting debut and agreed to compose the film's music. Then Durga was roped in to the film for the backgroundscore. The director then cast newcomers Geethan Britto, Arjun and Swaminathan to play significant roles in the film, noting that the title "Aakko" is slang for the term "Aarva Kolaaru", which translates into "enthusiastic youngster". In a recent interview, Anirudh revealed that he accepted to compose the music to test his star status in the market. In a film composed of completely new comers, Anirudh being the only known star, he considers this as an acid test for himself.^[1]

The film's first look was released to the media on 1 January 2014 with a series of posters featuring Anirudh released.^[2][3]

Music

The film's music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander. As of now, a single track "Enakenna Yaarum Illaye" was released online on 14 February 2015. The complete album soon will be announcing via official Twitter page of Anirudh Ravichander. The audio rights of the film was acquired by Sony Music.
