7am Arivu stars Surya in a triple role as circus artist, Buddhist monk and a scientist while Shruti Haasan played the female lead. Vietnamese actor Johnny Tri Nguyen played the antagonist in the film. Surya trained for a six pack chiseled torso for a Kung Fu action sequence within 16 days as requested by cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran.
The story of 7am Arivu will revolve around a super machine, which is brought to India. The album, composed by Harris Jayaraj, consists of six songs including a Chinese track, sung by Chinese singer Hau.
