In January 2012, Ameer Sultan announced that his assistant Aslam would direct Srikanth,[1] in his debut film Paagan which was claimed to be a comedy.[3] After completing Nanban, Srikanth started working for this film;[4] for the role, he was said to have lost 7 kilos.[5] Janani Iyer of Avan Ivan fame was selected as lead actress[6] while comedians Kovai Sarala, Pandi and Soori were selected to essay supporting roles and comical relief. Filming was held in Tirupur and Pollachi. During a stunt sequence where Srikanth should escape from fire, his rope got cut but he safely landed without hurt. The film was shot with an ARRI 435, ARRI 435X-TREME and Sony F65 camera.[7]
