Production

In mid-April 2013, actor Siddharth announced that he would be working in a Tamil film to be directed by Karthik Subbaraj. Karthik echoed the same shortly thereafter, noting that although the script was complete, the rest of the film's cast and the title were not yet finalised. The title Jigarthanda, derived from a beverage popular in Madurai, was announced in June 2013.

In an interaction with IANS in early March 2014, Siddharth expressed hope that Jigarthanda would help him break away from the stereotypical "boy-next-door" and "chocolate boy" roles he was known for and allow him to showcase his versatility. In late May 2013, Lakshmi Menon revealed that she was a part of the film's cast. The actress later stated, "I have put in a lot of effort for my role as an idli seller in the film.

Bobby Simha was eventually cast as Sethu, with Karthik stating, "I decided not to cast anyone who we thought was an obvious choice for the role, including Vijay Sethupathi. After seeing his performance in Neram, in which Bobby played a gangster, we thought that if we do a complete makeover, he could crack it". Simha said that he interacted with real gangsters in preparation for the role.

Principal photography started on 12 June 2013 at Madurai, and wrapped in November 2013. Karthik, along with sound designers Vishnu Govind and Sreesankar, sound mixer Rajakrishnan, and Dolby consultant Dwarak Warrier. S. Venkatraghavan, Cinema Sales Manager — South at Dolby Laboratories, in an interview with Baradwaj Rangan confirmed that the film would feature Dolby Atmos sound system for realistic effect in sounds.
