Production
Usha Krishnan, an assistant of Suseenthiran, worked on the film's script in 2013 and selected Kalaiyarasan to play a leading role before he had signed on to star in his breakthrough role in Madras. After being impressed by Usha's commitment as an assistant director, cinematographer Muthiah chose to make Raja Manthiri as his first production. The film was shot throughout the middle of 2015 and had entered post-production by September 2015. The film's release was put on hold for several months until the team could find an apt release date.Soundtrack
