Naan Yen Pirandhen is a remake of the 1953 Telugu film Bratuku Teruvu.[1] It was the only film to feature Ramachandran in a family-oriented role. The dialogues were written by Vietnam Veedu Sundaram.[2] Kamal Haasan worked as an assistant dance choreographer under K. Thangappan.[3]
The music was composed by Shankar–Ganesh.[4][5] They said they chose to do the film simply because Ramachandran was in it.[6]
