==Production==<br />
Rohini revealed that ''Appavin Meesai'' is based on a true incident about a young boy that she had read in a Telugu newspaper back in 2007. She was inspired to develop a script based on the incident, in Tamil rather than Telugu and soon after that began approaching people to make the film. The project was announced in July 2012 with actress Rohini marking her debut as a director.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Rohini-to-turn-director/articleshow/15233044.cms|title=Rohini to turn director - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref> The team began filming in [[West Bengal]] in September 2012, with scenes involving [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]] and [[Pasupathy]] being shot. Indian child actress [[Ahsaas Channa]] also shot for the film in the initial schedules, finishing her portions in January 2013.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://archive.mid-day.com/entertainment/2013/jan/240113-i-always-knew-i-d-become-an-actress-ahsaas-channa.htm|title=I always knew I'd become an actress: Ahsaas Channa|website=archive.mid-day.com}}</ref> [[Nithya Menen]] and [[Salim Kumar]] were later also roped in to play pivotal roles in the film.

To involve common public in her first feature, Rohini Molleti made her appeal on a popular crowdfunding website and hoped to receive a value of 40 lakhs through the initiative.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-cinemaplus/Rohini-goes-the-crowd-funding-way/article16898029.ece|title=Rohini goes the crowd-funding way|date=18 December 2016|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Rohini-takes-the-crowdfunding-way-for-her-directorial-debut/articleshow/55887905.cms|title=Rohini takes the crowdfunding way for her directorial debut - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref><br />

==Release==<br />
Despite being completed in 2013, the film remains unreleased due to unknown reasons. In 2015, Cheran took up responsibility of releasing the film through his new straight-to—DVD platform of C2H, but the failure of the venture meant that the release of ''Appavin Meesai'' was delayed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://movies.sulekha.com/cheran_actor-news-article_c2h-first-release-to-be-on-15th-january-2015-jk-enum-nanbanin-vaazhkkai|title=C2H first release to be on 15th January 2015 – JK Enum Nanbanin Vaazhkkai &#124;Cheran&#124;Movies|via=movies.sulekha.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2015/jan/20/Now-Watch-the-Release-of-Tamil-Films-from-Your-Home-707367.html|title=Now Watch the Release of Tamil Films from Your Home|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref><br />
