Saravanan of AVM Productions, and became very close to the AVM clan, he made his directorial debut with Veera Thirumagan.[2][3] Former child artist Sachu made her debut as lead actress with this film.[4] While AVM was generally known for producing drama films with contemporary settings, Veera Thirumagan differed from them by being an "action oriented costume drama".[1] The budget of the film was ₹1,300,000 (equivalent to ₹94 million or US$1.2 million in 2020).[5]
