Production

Sathuranga Vettai is the directorial debut of Vinoth. He said he was turned down by several producers before he met director Nalan Kumarasamy, to whom he handed over his film's script. While Nalan was on a trip, his mother found the script, read and loved it and asked Nalan to read it too, who too liked it and came forward to help him find a producer.

The film was said to be a "con film". Vinoth stated that it is about "the pace at which we all want to make money in our lives. It's about the anger of common man who thinks money is the solution to all his problems" and the "imbalance in the social morals of a common man". Although it was a heist film, the director said he had made the film "as funny as possible" and that it had been narrated with "a lot of fun, satire and dark humour".
