Shot in Ooty and Coimbatore within 54 days, the film derives its title from a hybrid of two words, Mirugam (transl. Animal) and Manithan (transl. Man). The film depicts a zombie apocalypse in around Ooty, Coonoor, Coimbatore in the state of Tamil Nadu that starts after a poisonous liquid spills from a container outside a chemical laboratory in Ooty. The film revolves around a traffic cop who along with his sister, a politician, and his best friend, try to help the escape of a group of doctors one of whom is his love interest to Coimbatore to find a cure for the virus.
