Production

In July 2012, Shiva confirmed that was he going to do the remake Thillu Mullu that was likely to be produced by KB's daughter Pushpa Kandasamy. Shiva and Vendhar Movies approached Badri to direct the film. Badri said that he ventured into Thillu Mullu with an open mind. "I wanted to make the storyline contemporary. Retaining the characters from the original, I wrote the script to suit today’s generation".

Isha Talwar was roped in to do Madhavi’s role from the original in the film, making her Tamil debut. A non-Tamil speaker, she attempted to learn the language for her role. Prakash Raj reprised the character played by Thengai Srinivasan. Badri stated "the challenge was to cast someone in Thengai Srinivasan’s role. I couldn’t think of anyone other than Prakash Raj". Santhanam reprised the special guest appearance by Kamal Haasan.
