Selvam was directed by K. S. Gopalakrishnan, who wrote the screenplay from a story by B. S. Ramiah.[1] The film was produced by actor V. K. Ramasamy,[3] who did not feature. It was lighter than the melodramatic films Sivaji Ganesan was previously known for starring in. The film ridicules horoscopes, astrology and superstition.[1][4]
The music was composed by K. V. Mahadevan.[5][6]
