The film was marketed as "India’s first claustrophobic science thriller", with the premise of a man being stuck in a car under the ground.[1] The film was largely shot in Kodaikanal. The film was titled Antony as a tribute to actor Raghuvaran, who immortalised the name in the film Baashha (1995).[2]
The soundtrack was composed by debutant, Sivatmikha, who composed songs for the album aged 19.[3][4] She was approached by producer Vivek after she had promoted her work on Facebook.[5][6]
The songs of the film were released in a ceremony held in May 2018.[7]

The film was released on 1 June 2018. A critic from the Times of India gave the film a negative review, though added "the only takeaway for the audience is the somewhat slick cinematography, with a couple of memorable visuals".[8] A reviewer from the Hindustan Times noted "the film with a promising premise loses to bad writing, poor performances by the actors and the sound. The one take away remains the visuals of the film, which are impressive."[9] Further reviews from The New Indian Express and Deccan Chronicle were critical of the film's storyline.[10][11]
