== Production ==
The film marked the directorial debut of Jai Amar Singh, who previously assisted director [[I. Ahmed]] on ''[[Endrendrum Punnagai]]'' (2013). He wrote the script in 2016 based on his experiences accumulated during his education at [[University of Bedfordshire]] in the UK and the process of applying for it. The film's title was derived from the name of the noted road in Chennai that serves as a link route to a few colleges in the city, including [[Loyola College, Chennai|Loyola College]] and [[Stella Maris College, Chennai|Stella Maris College]].<ref name="ss">{{Cite web |date=2021-08-23 |title='College Road' is a Thriller about a Lesser-Known Issue Often Faced by Students, Says Director Jai Amar Singh |url=https://silverscreenindia.com/movies/news/college-road-is-a-thriller-about-a-lesser-known-issue-often-faced-by-students-says-director-jai-amar-singh/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221229012700/https://silverscreenindia.com/movies/news/college-road-is-a-thriller-about-a-lesser-known-issue-often-faced-by-students-says-director-jai-amar-singh/ |archive-date=2022-12-29 |access-date=2023-01-03 |website=Silverscreen India}}</ref> The film marked the first lead role for actor [[Lingesh]], who had previously played supporting roles.<ref>{{Cite web |date=24 December 2022 |title=Lingesh plays the lead in College Road! |url=https://chennaivision.com/lingesh-plays-the-lead-in-college-road/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230101003943/https://chennaivision.com/lingesh-plays-the-lead-in-college-road/ |archive-date=2023-01-01 |access-date=2023-01-18}}</ref>
