Production
Kalaipuli S. Thanu expressed his interest to produce a film with S. P. Muthuraman as director and Vijayakanth as lead which eventually became Nallavan.[3][4] The film featured Vijayakanth in dual roles and most of the scenes involving them together in single frame were shot using Mitchell Camera by the cinematographer T. S. Vinayagam.[5]
The stunt scenes and a song were picturised and shot at Kashmir. Muthuraman revealed that the crew faced tough time to shoot at the 600 feet hills for a fight sequence, they had to use horses travel to hills and also used to transport costumes and foods there.[6] The climax fight sequence was shot with 100 lorries which came to Ladakh to provide food to people there.[7]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Chandrabose and the lyrics were written by Thanu.[8][9]

Reception
N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express wrote, "The script is full of holes [..] Thanu, the producer of the film is credited with the script too. He has only himself to blame. S. P. Muthuraman directs the film as best as he can within the limitations of the canvass".[10] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki also criticised the film for its writing.[11]
