Production

Naanal was a play written by K. Balachander and inspired by the film The Desperate Hours (1955). After the release of Neerkumizhi (1965), Balachander decided to adapt The Desperate Hours as the story for his next play after being impressed by the plot. Naanal was later adapted by him into a film with the same name after the producer Velumani felt it had potential. Naanal marked the feature film debut of Typist Gopu.

When the film was submitted to the censor board for certification, an official raised objection against the film's concept, believing it may influence criminals in real life to take revenge in a similar manner and instructed Balachander to change the story and film it again.
