Production

On 29 May 2018, film producer R. D. Raja of 24AM Studios announced his next venture in collaboration with director Arun Prabu, who made his directorial debut with Aruvi (2016). Arun said it would be a mixed-genre film similar to Aruvi. The film's cast and crew were not revealed at the time.

Arun Prabu revealed that Vaazhl was written in 2010, long before the release of Aruvi and was intended to be his directorial debut but was delayed due to the unconventional nature of the script; he said that the "script is quite complicated and it's definitely not an easy process to transform it completely on screen". He narrated the script to around thirty-five producers who liked his narration but questioned its execution.

Arun Prabu stated that the film would have newcomers in the lead roles who had no experience in acting as he believed "non-professional actors can add more value" to the script. He cast Pradeep Antony, whom had a brief role in Aruvi, as the lead character Prakash who was based on a real-life friend of Arun Prabu sharing a similar name.

For the pre-production, Arun Prabu and his team went on a recce for the location scouting which took them nine months. The film began production in January 2019 and was shot in 100 unexplored locations. Filming locations included the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka, and islands in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Arun revealed that different cameras were used to shoot different portions of the screenplay.
