Penn Endral Penn is the directorial debut of Aaroor Dass. M. G. Ramachandran cautioned him against turning director, but Dass refused to listen. Saroja Devi, who had taken a hiatus from acting after marriage, sought a re-entry into film and asked producer A. L. Srinivasan to star in this film.
The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, with lyrics by Kannadasan.
