Production

180 is the feature directorial debut of advertisement filmmaker Jayendra Panchapakesan. He previously wrote several scripts for films but they did not materialise owing to Jayendra's commitments to advertisements and his operations for Qube Cinema Technologies. After directing the concert film Margazhi Raagam (2008), Jayendra said that he "couldn't resist the idea of making a feature film".

Jayendra wrote a romantic subject with the duo, creating "youthful characters" in order to appeal with the younger generation and firstly wrote the characters after which, according to him, "the characters wrote the script." The film's urban setting with no particular milieu prompted Jayendra to make it as a bilingual, in Tamil and Telugu languages.

Jayendra sent the script to Siddharth, after having known him since his debut in to the film industry. Impressed by it, Siddharth accepted to play the lead role. The film marked Siddharth's return to Tamil cinema after seven years since Aayutha Ezhuthu (2004).

The film was launched at AVM Studios in Vadapalani on 15 June 2010 and filming began the same day. The film was shot across Chennai and Hyderabad in the preliminary portions of the first schedule. By November, the team left to San Francisco for filming the second schedule under extreme weather conditions, where the temperature was around −4 °C (25 °F). Cinematographer Balasubramaniem shot the film through the Red Digital camera.
