On August 6, 2021, the first look poster and the title were announced. Silambarasan appeared in a rustic avatar in the first look poster. He had allegedly shed 15 kg to prepare for his role in the film.
The filming began on August 7 last year in the Tamil Nadu town of Tiruchendur. The shoot was called off on August 23, 2021, owing to a disagreement between the Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) and the Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI), after multiple producers complained about Simbu’s inability to fulfil his commitments for several films he had signed.
However, once a solution was reached between the two opposing parties, filming continued. The film’s production was then postponed several times because of Covid-19 limitations.
The film has been bankrolled by Ishari K Ganesh. Siddhi Idnani plays the female protagonist, with Raadhika Sarathkumar, Siddique, Neeraj Madhav, and Aangelina Abraham appearing in supporting parts. Director Ganesh characterised Simbu’s persona as one he has never played before. Kayadu Lohar was asked to portray the leading heroine in the film, but the role was later given to Siddhi Idnani in January 2022.
AR Rahman provided the soundtrack for Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu, his fourth collaboration with Silambarasan and Gautham Menon following Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa in 2010, Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada in 2016 and the 2018 action movie Chekka Chivantha Vaanam.
