Production

Ajith Kumar's 60th film, Valimai (2022) under the direction of H. Vinoth and produced by Boney Kapoor, faced several production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2021, Kapoor hinted on collaborating for the actor's 61st film and Vinoth directing the film, which would mark their third consecutive collaboration following Nerkonda Paarvai (2019) and Valimai, which was later confirmed in September 2021.

On 15 February 2022, the project was officially announced under the working title AK 61, and pre-production works for the film began the same time. Kapoor also shared a still featuring Ajith in a long beard with coolers in a monochrome format, which would be the looks for his film.

In December 2022, Vinoth revealed in an interview to The Times of India, saying in response that the film is a heist film, that the film blends multiple genres and cannot be slotted under the particular genre. Vinoth said he narrated a single scene, written for a planned low-budget film, to Ajith; after he showed an interest in signing the film, Vinoth increased the scale of the project. Vinoth elaborated, "The film is about money.

Thunivu was reported to be trying to cast actors from "across the industry" in the film. In May 2022, a month after filming began, Manju Warrier was signed as the lead actress, her second Tamil film after Asuran (2019), though she would not play Ajith's love interest. Vinoth wanted to cast an actress closer to Ajith's age and chose Warrier as he felt that "audiences would expect a strong character from her as she's a terrific performer.

The same month, John Kokken, and Veera signed the film, along with Samuthirakani and Mahanadi Shankar, who collaborates with Ajith after 20 years since Dheena (2001). In June 2022, Nayana Sai was cast in for the film, and the following month, Telugu actor Ajay, and Mamathi Chari joined the film, and shot few key sequences. Shaam was approached to play a negative role, but declined due to scheduling conflicts with Varisu.
