Interesting facts

Pariyerum Perumal is a 2018 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film written and directed by Mari Selvaraj, and produced by Pa. Ranjith. The film stars Kathir and Anandhi, while Yogi Babu, Lijeesh, Hari Krishnan and G. Marimuthu appear in supporting roles. It follows Pariyan (Kathir), who befriends Jothi (Anandhi), who falls in love with him. Soon after, her family members begin harassing Pariyan due to his caste.

Production

Pa. Ranjith registered his maiden film production company, Neelam Productions in late October 2016. Although the company had produced two documentary films, Ranjith announced his debut as a feature film producer, with his association with Mari Selvaraj, a former assistant of Ram, in his directorial debut, titled Pariyerum Perumal, in December 2016.

Mari Selvaraj stated, "I wanted faces that reflected a kind of simplicity and innocence, and Kathir and Anandhi fit that description perfectly". Kathir stated that after he heard about the project, he personally approached the director and was cast. Mari Selvaraj later revealed that Atharvaa was his first choice for the role as he was impressed with the actor's performance in Paradesi (2013), but Atharvaa could not spare dates.

Principal photography commenced in late January 2017, with Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi regions serving as the principal shooting locations. The film's shooting was completed in March 2018. That November, the makers released a video titled "Pariyerum Perumal Making Video", showing how some of the film's perceived disturbing scenes were shot.
