Production
In September 2013, director MSS convinced television actor Rajkamal to play the lead role in his film on a Tamil tour guide falling in love with a tourist. MSS chose to make Melnaatu Marumagan after his debut project Neengatha Ennam starring Bhanu Chander's son Jayanth, was shelved. Melnaatu Marumagan was to be produced by Bahadur Sha, with music by Kishore Kumar and cinematography by Gautham Krishna. Andreanne Nouyrigat, a resident of Pondicherry who has appeared in Tamil cinema, was then recruited to star in the lead role alongside Rajkamal. In the film, she dubbed her own lines in Tamil.The film was completed by January 2015, but a potential release date in February 2015 was bypassed. Following three years of delays and a change of producer, the team began promotions planning to release the film in early 2018. The team also announced plans of potentially releasing the film in France.
