Production

The film marked the directorial debut of Chandra who earlier assisted Aabavanan. Chandra's earlier directorial venture Conductor Mappillai remains unreleased and the way Chandra handled the budget impressed producer Balu who offered him the opportunity to direct Chinna Durai. The filming was entirely held at Pollachi.[1]
