Scene marks Jithu Madhavan's directorial debut in Tamil cinema. The filmmaker, known for Malayalam films such as Aavesham, has brought together Suriya, Nazriya Nazim and Naslen for this crime comedy. Suriya plays Inbaraj, a police officer investigating a case that bears similarities to a 'Perfume Killer' case he had previously solved.
Produced by Suriya and Jyotika under Zhagaram Studios and 2D Entertainment, the film also features a surprise cameo by Jyotika. With its strong opening weekend, Scene has also moved ahead of Nayanthara's Mookuthi Amman 2, which arrived in theatres on the same day.
