Production
Nassar had originally planned only to direct the film, but after his initial choices for lead actor - Prashanth and Ajith Kumar - pulled out, he chose to also portray the lead role.[3] As a result, the film's production was delayed by over a year from early 1999.[4] Actress Ranjitha made a comeback to acting with Maayan, after taking a three-year sabbatical post-marriage.[5] The film also marked the first major role for Pasupathy, whose previous venture Marudhanayagam was shelved.[6]
The first schedule of the shooting was held at Chennai and Chengelpet. The second schedule was then held at Tiruvannamalai and the forests of Thalaikonam.[7]
