Production
The shooting for Thunichal began in 2005, and ended in 2007. Subsequently, the film was scheduled to release in 2008 but did not after Arun Vijay did not dub for the film. Producer P. Kalidas filed a court case against Arun for delaying dubbing for the film. The court verdict was a hold on Arun's next film Maanja Velu (2010)'s release till Thunichal released.
Soundtrack
The soundtrack was the first soundtrack composed by music director Premji Amaran, who during the postponement of the film, went on to become a popular actor. The film is one of two films—the other being Nenjathai Killadhe (2008)—that he worked outside the Chennai 600028 gang.
