Production

M. G. Ramachandran had the desire to make Adimai Penn as early as 1963. As director, producer and lead actor, he launched the film with B. Saroja Devi and K. R. Vijaya as the lead actresses and P. N. Sundaram as cinematographer. Some scenes were filmed, but the project was dropped. When relaunched with a new story, Ramachandran remained in his positions (except directing, which was given to K.

Filming took place primarily in Jaipur, Rajasthan. During the filming, Ramachandran was given a white fur cap to shield him from the desert sun; this would later become his signature look. While filming in the Thar Desert, Jayalalithaa had to walk barefoot on the sand to portray her character; the sand became gradually hotter and Ramachandran suspended filming after noticing her discomfort.
