==Production==<br />
Anaadhai Penn was first published as a novel. Jupiter Pictures sought to film the novel and booked M. K. Radha as the hero. Author Vai. Mu. Kothainayaki Ammal insisted that she should be informed from time to time, of the developments in the making of the film. M. K. Radha fully suited his role and was in fact proud of it. After the release of the film, many young people started imitating him. Kothamangalam Subbu was credited as S. M. Subramaniam.<ref name=hindu /><br />
<br />
==Soundtrack==<br />
During the 1930s most of the films did not have a separate music composer. The lyricist set the tune and the artistes sang the songs while the company orchestra provided the background music.<br />
<br />
Lyrics for this film were penned by [[Papanasam Sivan]].<ref name=anandan /><br />
