Ottran is all about the current scenario on terrorism in the country. It is based on the recent Parliament shoot out in Delhi by terrorists. Arjun when met on the sets of Ottran said, "This is an action film. I play the role of RAW agent and fight against terrorism. Simran, a MCA student is my pair".
The film is shot in Delhi, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Kulu Manali, Vizag and Chennai. "The script was written keeping Arjun in mind. Arjun has done most of the risky action scenes by himself. Since most of the story is happening at Delhi we have shot extensively covering all the major places in Delhi. Praveen Mani’s (from A.R.Rahman’s school) music is an asset to the film. We have picturised two songs on the long beaches of Goa" explains director Ilangkannan, an associate of Shankar.
