Production
R. V. Satheesh left his corporate job in the USA to attempt to make it as a film maker in Tamil cinema and trained under R. Parthiepan. The director revealed that the film would revolve around a "dog napping" and would focus on the situational comedy of the incident, with his dog named Lucky playing a pivotal role.[2] The idea for the film was based upon the widespread dog-napping which hard occurred in California during 2014.[3] Television actor Amudhavanan was selected to play a leading role, while George Vijay, previously seen in Mani Ratnam's Kadal (2013) and Balaji Mohan's Maari (2015), was also picked for a lead role.[4]

Release
The film opened on 7 April 2017 across Tamil Nadu alongside Mani Ratnam's Kaatru Veliyidai. The Times of India wrote "right from the writing to the filmmaking, this film has amateurishness written all over it" and that "every scene is so silly, infantile and preposterous (all in a bad way) that we keep wondering how someone felt that this could be a movie".[5] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "a small budgeted film, the production values are low and this is evident throughout" but added it is "mildly amusing, what the film needed was a screenplay that had more punch and fizz in it" and "at the most, Julieum… is a promising effort by a debutant maker".[6]
