Production

After the success of Rajakumari (1947), M. G. Ramachandran approached writer A. S. A. Sami to write a script which would revolve around him. Samy wrote a script inspired by Vengeance by Marie Corelli, Shakespeare's theatrical play Macbeth and Robin Hood. Makers initially considered naming the film Karikalan but later changed it to Marmayogi to avoid it being confused with a historical film. Ramachandran's last name was credited as "Ramachandar".

Ramachandran's sword fight sequence with Sahasranamam was shot outdoors with Ramachandran practising for the scene for three to four days and refused to use a body double. Director Ramnath changed the climax from the original screenplay. After the film was completed, many felt that ending was not convincing and Ramnath reshot the climax which was accepted by audience.
