Production

In April 2015, it was announced that Kamal Haasan's next project would be an action thriller, tentatively titled Ore Iravu, and directed by his former assistant Rajesh M. Selva. By the following month, the film was officially titled Thoongaavanam. Haasan added that the film would be shot simultaneously and with the same cast and crew in Telugu as Cheekati Rajyam.

Haasan was reported to be play an Indian Revenue Service officer in the Narcotics Control Bureau. Trisha and Prakash Raj were the first actors to be cast and reported to play the female lead and an important supporting role respectively. This film marks Trisha's 50th film and completes her 15 years in the industry. While Prakash Raj was said to portray a drug dealer, Trisha's role was said to be a police officer.

Principal photography began in late May at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, and was completed in 38 working days by early August 2015. Since the film is a Tamil-Telugu bilingual, scenes involving Tamil Nadu Police uniforms and vehicle nameplates were reshot for the Telugu version to include Andhra Pradesh police uniform and vehicle nameplates to avoid localisation issues.
