Pandian had previously discussed the role with [[Bharath (actor)|Bharath]], but the actor's refusal meant that Dhanush was chosen.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/bharath-hopes-that-kadugu-will-give-his-career-a-muchneeded-fillip/article8952844.ece?secpage=true&secname=entertainment |title=Bharath, hopes that Kadugu will give his career a much-needed fillip |newspaper=The Hindu |date=2016-08-06 |access-date=2018-07-18}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/16430.html|title=Tamil Cinema News - Tamil Movie Reviews - Tamil Movie Trailers - IndiaGlitz Tamil|access-date=18 July 2018}}</ref> [[Shriya Saran]], who rose to fame in Tamil films after her role in ''[[Mazhai]]'', was signed as the heroine and the film was titled as ''Naveena Thiruvilayadal'', though the prefix was later dropped.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/16554.html|title=Tamil Cinema News - Tamil Movie Reviews - Tamil Movie Trailers - IndiaGlitz Tamil|access-date=18 July 2018}}</ref> The following September, actor [[Sivaji Ganesan]]'s Fan Club requested the film's producer, Vimala Geetha, to change the name of the film ''Thiruvilayadal''. They had felt that the title was reminiscent of Ganesan's [[Thiruvilaiyadal|1965 film of the same name]], and felt that the new venture would defame the old film.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/dhanush-in-a-dilemma-news-tamil-kkfv0aefcddsi.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151008115717/http://www.sify.com/movies/dhanush-in-a-dilemma-news-tamil-kkfv0aefcddsi.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 October 2015 |title=Dhanush in a dilemma! |date=19 September 2005 |website=Sify |access-date=2018-10-21}}</ref> [[K.

However, in January 2006, Boopathy Pandian confirmed that the film would continue and the remaining portions would be swiftly completed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/20049.html|title=Tamil Cinema News - Tamil Movie Reviews - Tamil Movie Trailers - IndiaGlitz Tamil|access-date=18 July 2018}}</ref> Shriya however returned to work on the film after she was able to allot dates.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/is-shriya-on-a-contract-news-tamil-kkfvilidcji.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140129140803/http://www.sify.com/movies/is-shriya-on-a-contract-news-tamil-kkfvilidcji.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2014-01-29 |title=Is Shriya on a contract? |publisher=Sify.com |access-date=2018-07-18}}</ref>

==Release==
The film opened in December 2006. [[Rediff.com]] noted that "Director Boopathy Pandian has a looser hold on pacing, ensuring that the interest never flags", adding that "the real reason to watch ''Thiruvilaiyadal Aarambam'' is Dhanush, who epitomises the new age hero: he is no superman, he is not even close to perfect, and he is thoroughly unapologetic about it all."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://inhome.rediff.com/movies/2006/dec/19ta.htm |title=Old wine, brand new bottle - Rediff.com movies |publisher=Inhome.rediff.com |date=2006-12-19 |access-date=2018-07-18}}</ref> Another critic from Indiaglitz mentioned that "Bhoopathy Pandian has a fair grasp of what makes an entertainer click with the comedy.
