Production

The film was first reported in August 2011, when it was announced that Naga Chaitanya would come together with director Radha Mohan to make his debut in Tamil cinema by starring in a bilingual venture. The film was titled Gouravam and touted to be a "family-entertainer" with Thaman signed on as music composer and Preetha as cinematographer.

However, in a turn of events, Naga Chaitanya opted out of the project and the lead role was handed to Allu Sirish, the third son of producer Allu Aravind, who would make his debut as an actor. Varalaxmi also subsequently opted out and was reported to be replaced by Tamannaah, but this proved untrue. Furthermore, Amala Paul was approached for the role, while Nithya Menen, Priya Anand, Aindrita Ray and Nidhi Subbaiah were all also considered.

Filming for Gouravam started in Chennai on 25 June 2012 and continued in Mysore.
