Production

The project was announced in 1976, when C. V. Sridhar discussed his decision to direct a film with M. G. Ramachandran after the success of their previous collaboration Urimaikural (1974). While making Anna Nee En Deivam, Sridhar was simultaneously making Meenava Nanban with Ramachandran.^[2] The film was produced by Sankaran and Aarumugam from Tenkasi with financier Duraisamy providing finance.^[3] However, due to the latter's political commitments and his involvement in other projects, the film was delayed.^[4] It was ultimately shelved after 4,000 ft of the portions being canned, as Ramachandran retired from filmmaking as well as acting in 1978 to take up his duties as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu however he completed acting in Meenava Nanban.^[5]
