== Production ==<br />
Kevin made his directorial debut with the film, twenty years after trying to break into the film industry. The film began production in early 2016 and [[Akhil (Tamil actor)|Akhil]] was cast in the lead role.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Yogi Babu and Rajendran's performances will be very lively in Engada Iruthinga Ivvalavu Naala, says director Kevin |url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/interviews/2021/mar/22/the-journey-of-a-film-23524.html |website=[[Cinema Express]]}}</ref> Four actresses were signed on to star in the film - [[Ishara Nair]], [[Manishajith]], Sahana and Krishnapriya.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Subramanian |first=Anupama |date=12 July 2017 |title=Akhil romances four girls in EIIN |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/kollywood/120717/akhil-romances-four-girls-in-eiin.html |website=Deccan Chronicle}}</ref> <br />

In June 2016, Ishara Nair complained that Kevin had subject her to sexual harassment in the sets of the film. She added that the director had wasted her dates, while also making unwelcome advances during the shoot.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Team |first=DNA Web |date=8 June 2016 |title=Shocking: 'Sathuranga Vettai' actress Ishaara Nair accuses director of sexual harassment |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report-shocking-sathuranga-vettai-s-ishaara-nair-accuses-director-of-sexual-harassment-2221257 |website=DNA India}}</ref><br />
<br />
Throughout 2020, Kevin tried to find distributors to release the film through an [[over-the-top media service]] but the lack of high-profile actors in the film meant that there were no takers.<ref>{{Cite web |title='Engada Iruthinga Ivvalavu Naala': The journey of a film |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2021/mar/23/engada-iruthinga-ivvalavu-naala-the-journey-of-a-film-2280073.html |website=The New Indian Express}}</ref><br />
