The film stars Silambarasan and Hansika Motwani, with Santhanam, VTV Ganesh and Brahmanandam portraying supporting roles. The film was produced by S. S. Chakravarthy under the banner NIC Arts. S. Thaman composed the music while Sakthi and T. S. Suresh handled the cinematography and editing respectively.

Production

Vaalu was initially announced as Vijay Chandar's directorial debut in September 2010, and that actor Jai would in the lead role, but the project did not take off. Silambarasan was later impressed with Chandar's script and approached producer S. S. Chakravarthy, who he was working with in Vettai Mannan, to fund the project. Hansika Motwani, Santhanam and VTV Ganesh were later picked to portrayal pivotal roles in the film.

Prior to the shoot, the makers chose to film a promotional teaser featuring Silambarasan, Motwani, Santhanam and VTV Ganesh. The cinematographer Shakthi and photographer Venket Ram were involved in the making of the teaser in Taramani during May 2012. The film's first teaser was subsequently released on 6 June 2012, with an initial release date of Diwali 2012 announced.

In January 2013, director Chandar revealed that only eight scenes and four songs were remaining to be shot, and that the delay of the film had meant that Vincent had replaced Shakthi as cinematographer. A few scenes were shot at Ramoji Film City in February 2013, but the production of the film encountered delays throughout 2013 as Motwani and Santhanam became busy with other film projects, and another schedule only re-began in July 2013 in Hydera…

Sequences featuring Silambarasan and Santhanam were shot near the Accord Hotel in Chennai in February 2014, as remaining talkie portions were being completed. The team announced that another song was completed after a shoot in Bangalore, while the team travelled to Bangkok for a further song choreographed by Satish. Following the shoot, the director revealed that Vaalu was complete after two years of filming.

Due to the protracted filming schedules, continuity errors are present in the physique and styling of Motwani and Silambarasan. Motwani appears plump in the initially filmed scenes, and thin in the later filmed ones.
