Production
Vadivukku Valai Kappu marked the directorial debut of A. P. Nagarajan, who worked mostly as a screenwriter at that time. He and V. K. Ramasamy produced the film, under the banner Sri Lakshmi Pictures. K. Somu was the original director, but removed his name from the credits in favour of Nagarajan. A. Gopinath and N. A. Thara handled the cinematography, while T. R. Nataraj did the editing. Sampath-Chinni, Rajkumar, Thangaraj and Krishnaraj were in charge of choreography. A. M. Shahul Hameed provided Nagarajan financial support to complete the film, but was not credited as producer.The film was originally started with Sivaji Ganesan and Savitri in lead roles; however it was shelved for sometime due to Savitri's pregnancy and Ganesan advised Ramasamy to revive the film with B. Saroja Devi as lead actress. When Ramasamy discussed this with Nagarajan, he was not interested with the choice as he felt they both should decide the casting. In the midst they both made Nalla Idathu Sammandham. After her pregnancy period, Savitri returned to the film, and it was restarted. The final length was 15642 feet.
