Production

On 17 September 2024, the newly established production house Dawn Pictures, headed by Aakash Baskaran, officially announced through their social media pages their maiden production project. Tentatively titled D52 or DD4, it would be directed by and star Dhanush, in his fourth directorial venture. Dhanush would also co-produce the project under Wunderbar Films. The film's official title, Idli Kadai, was announced on 19 September 2024.

Shortly after the film's announcement, reports surfaced that Ashok Selvan would play an important role, but the actor denied his participation. Nithya Menen, who previously won the National Film Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the Dhanush starrer Thiruchitrambalam (2022), told journalist Subhash K. Jha in August 2024 that she would collaborate with Dhanush again for an undisclosed film.

P. Samuthirakani was cast after a single phone call with Dhanush, and began filming 10 days later. Arun Vijay agreed to join the cast after Dhanush told him the entire script in 45 minutes. An early poster revealed he would play a boxer. Arun, who primarily plays lead roles, said it was his long time desire to play an antagonist like he did in Yennai Arindhaal (2015) and accepted Idli Kadai as he trusted Dhanush.

Principal photography commenced with the first schedule on 16 September 2024 at the villages of Theni district in Tamil Nadu. Filming for the first schedule was held in Theni for a month. By mid-October, the team moved to Pollachi for a brief schedule. As of March 2025, filming was mostly complete, with only a song sequence left to be shot in an overseas location.
