On 2 February 2024, Vijay announced through his social media accounts that he would step into politics after completing his ongoing projects, The Greatest of All Time (2024) and another film tentatively titled Thalapathy 69. [5] The Times of India suggested Karthik Subbaraj would direct the project, with Sun Pictures producing, [6] while Pinkvilla noted that the director had not been finalised, naming H. Vinoth, Subbaraj or Atlee as potential choices. [7] Later, Vetrimaaran emerged as a possibility, [8] with the project reportedly being funded by D. V. V. Danayya's DVV Entertainment. [9] [10] However, in March, Vetrimaaran confirmed that he was not involved, [11] narrowing the options to Trivikram and Vinoth. [12] Reports soon suggested Vinoth was likely to direct. [13] Director RJ Balaji revealed that Vijay had considered scripts from 15–20 directors, including himself, for the project. [14] [15]

While working on Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru and Mersal (both 2017) respectively, Vinoth had narrated a script to Vijay, who declined. [16] [17] [18] Vinoth later approached Kamal Haasan, who was impressed and signed him for his 233rd film. [19] [20] However, the project was shelved due to the delays in Indian 2 (2024) and Indian 3 (2025). [21] [22] Vinoth revisited Vijay with the script, [23] who reportedly accepted a 275 crore (US$32 million) deal, making him the highest-paid Indian actor, surpassing Shah Rukh Khan and Rajinikanth. [24] In August, Vinoth confirmed his role as director, receiving 15–20 crore, [25] [26] with Venkat K. Narayana's KVN Productions funding the project in their first Tamil venture. [27] Vijay's manager, Jagadish Palanisamy, and Lohith N. K. serve as co-producers. [28] The film was made on a 300 crore (US$35 million) budget. [1] The project was set to be announced on 22 June, Vijay's birthday, with shooting commencing from the following month, [29] but was postponed with the actor's request. [30] The company made a public announcement on 14 September, confirming the project. [31]

When Vinoth was committed to Haasan's 233rd film, he received changes from the actor which went to the final script and was narrated to Vijay. [32] Although Vijay was highly impressed with the script, [33] he had reportedly advised the director to make some changes. [34] [35] Vinoth said the film would be made completely in Vijay's style, unlike his previous films, which he considered to be political. [36] [37] However, the poster announcement of the film, which featured the tagline "torch bearer of democracy", [38] made some media question the film's genre. [39] A muhurat puja was held on 4 October 2024, the second day of Navaratri, at Prime Studio in Chennai with the film's cast and crew. [40] [41]

In early October 2024, Sathyan Sooryan was announced as the cinematographer, marking his second film with Vinoth after Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru (2017) and Vijay after Master (2021). [42] Anirudh Ravichander would score the music, in his first collaboration with the director. [43] Vinoth had further chosen technicians in his maiden collaboration, including editor Pradeep E. Ragav, [44] stunt choreographer Anl Arasu, art director V. Selvakumar, costume designer Pallavi Singh and choreographer Shekar Master, [45] while retaining publicity designer Gopi Prasannaa. [46] [47] Ramkumar Balasubramaniam was appointed as executive producer of the film by the production house. [48]

Vijay had reportedly finalised his look for his character at a look test, which was reportedly in early–August at a studio in Chennai.

[57] Hindi actor Bobby Deol was confirmed to play the main antagonist, [58] in his second Tamil film following Kanguva (2024).

[70] Monisha Blessy was featured in the muhurat puja, thereby confirming her inclusion. [71] Although Sathyaraj was approached for a role, he declined the role due to scheduling conflicts. [72] Shiva Rajkumar, during the promotions of Bhairathi Ranagal (2024), stated that he was approached by Vinoth for an important role; however, the director later withdrew the offer due to reasons unknown.
