== Production ==<br />
The film began production in 2009. Kathir, who played a lorry driver in Salangai Durai's earlier film ''[[Kathavarayan (2008 film)|Kathavarayan]]'' (2008), was cast in this film as a water tank lorry driver. He practised lorry driving for the film. This was Malayalam actress [[Honey Rose]]'s second Tamil film after ''[[Mudhal Kanave]]'' (2007), but the delay of the film meant that this was her fourth Tamil film after ''[[Singam Puli]]'' (2011). The climax was shot in Chennai.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ashok Kumar |first=S.R. |date=2 June 2012 |title=Audio beat: Kantharvan |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/audio-beat-kantharvan/article3483047.ece |url-access=subscription |website=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref><br />

== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' wrote that "The director’s earlier debut film ''Kathavarayan'' was a far better effort than this one".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mannath |first=Malini |date=19 April 2014 |title=A Story Without Depth |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2014/apr/19/a-story-without-depth-601848.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220809200203/https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2014/apr/19/A-Story-Without-Depth-601848.html |archive-date=9 August 2022 |access-date=24 September 2023 |website=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Dinamalar]]'' criticised the film for solely relying on the climax.<ref>{{Cite web |title=காந்தர்வன் |url=https://cinema.dinamalar.com/movie-review/188/Kantharvan |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181002013713/http://cinema.dinamalar.com:80/movie-review/188/Kantharvan |archive-date=2 October 2018 |website=[[Dinamalar]] |language=ta}}</ref><br />
