Production

On 26 September 2021, Vijay's 66th film as lead actor was announced with the working title Thalapathy 66. Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, it is the first Tamil film produced by Dil Raju and Sirish under Sri Venkateswara Creations, and Paidipally's second Tamil film after Thozha (2016).

Paidipally wrote the story and screenplay along with Hari and Ashishor Solomon. Raju Murugan was signed as the dialogue writer but he opted out of the project due to other film commitments. Murugan was replaced by Vivek for additional screenplay and dialogues. Cinematographer Karthik Palani, editor Praveen K. L. and production designers Sunil Babu and Vaishnavi Reddy, were part of the film's technical crew.

In an interview with Ananda Vikatan, Vamshi claimed that the film is a family entertainer in the baseline and not specific to the genre, as he felt necessary to include several elements that would cater to the target audience, especially while writing for a big star like Vijay. He did the same, keeping in mind with the star and his image, which he felt that every section of the audience — including children and seniors — would enjoy the film.

The story for the film was written keeping Mahesh Babu in mind and when the actor could not sign up for the film, the makers approached Allu Arjun, Prabhas and Ram Charan before finalising Vijay. In October 2021, Prakash Raj was reported to play a key role in the film, collaborating with Vijay after over a decade since Villu (2009). On 5 April 2022, the birthday of Rashmika Mandanna, it was announced that she would be the lead actress.

On 26 April 2022, Shaam confirmed being a part of the film, collaborating with Vijay after Kushi (2000), in which film he acted in a minor role, and the following week, Yogi Babu also confirmed his presence in the film. Five days later, the production house confirmed Prabhu and Jayasudha as part of the cast, and two days later, Telugu actor Srikanth, Sangeetha Krish and Samyuktha Shanmughanathan.
