==Production==

===Casting===
V. Thiruselvam had some casting choices for the female lead, but B. Srinivasan preferred to cast a film artist for the female lead as he had already informed [[Sun TV (India)|Sun TV]]. After having various discussions over the casting choices of film artists, they considered [[Soundarya]] for the female lead. Although she was interested, but couldn't immediately join the crew due to her 2 month contract with the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] to support them during election campaign. Then [[Devayani (actress)|Devayani]] was suggested for the female lead by the production side to the director to which he had agreed as she would perfectly fit into the character and she was already acting in films. Initially Devayani had some issues over the terms and conditions agreement with the production side, as a result she almost opted out of this series and they even negotiated with [[Kausalya (actress)|Kausalya]] to play the female lead. But, [[Sathyapriya]] who was signed to play the mother of the female lead managed to convince Devayani to play the female lead in this series and sorted out the misunderstanding between her and the production side. Apart from such issues, Devayani was very interested after listening to the script from her husband [[Rajakumaran (director)|Rajakumaran]] to whom the director had already narrated and he had also praised the director. So, she signed to play the female lead Abinaya.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUL7orD0rZQ |title=Rajinikanth asked me to Narrate a Script after Watching Kolangal Serial - Director Thiruselvam Interview |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date=23 November 2019 |accessdate=29 April 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo4dIVz79y4 |title=There will be Boredom in Serials - Thiruselvam |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date=15 November 2019 |accessdate=29 April 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiyT5P-vZ-Q |title=Ajith is the most handsome hero, Kolangal could be telecasted even for 10 years! |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date=20 October 2018 |accessdate=29 April 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_5cYsduJNs |title=Thalapathy Vijay Growth From Friends to Sarkar: Devayani Interview Ezhumin Tamil Movie |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date=21 October 2018 |accessdate=29 April 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHg-SRL6Mb4 |title=My Family suffered because of me - Devayani Emotional Pudhu Pudhu Arthangal - Zee Thamizh |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date=12 March 2018 |accessdate=29 April 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNb63tneZEc |title=Exclusive - "Ajith talks a lot!
