Prabhakaran (Prabhu), a poet, lives with his mother and his father. Prabhakaran has two friends Raja (Raja) and Murugan (Vadivelu) who are like his own brothers. A classical dancer (Gouthami) admires his poems. His ambition is passing the IAS exams and becoming a collector at all costs before the marriage. Prabhakaran's father (T. S. B. K. Moulee) and Ramanathan (Raghuvaran), Meena's father, are close friends and they decide to get Prabhakaran and Meena (Suvalakshmi) married. Meena is a very sensitive girl. Prabhakaran cannot accept and tries to cancel the marriage whereas Meena falls in love with her future groom Prabhakaran. Prabhakaran refuses for the marriage as a consequence Meena commits suicide because of a misinterpretation. Meena's family blames the innocent Prabhakaran. He feels guilty and decides to marry Meena's younger sister Manju (Keerthi Reddy), a playful girl. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.
Malayalam actress Manju Warrier was initially attached to the project but later opted out.[5] Kausalya was expected to replace her, though later Suvaluxmi was cast.[6]
The cancellation of Prabhu's other film Nanba Nanba meant that he was able to clear his schedule to shoot for Iniyavale during March 1998.[7]
The film score and the soundtrack were composed by Deva, with lyrics written by Seeman, Arivumathi, Jeevan, Punniyar and Thamarai.[8][9][10]
