The project was first announced by director Rathindran Prasad during July 2016, where he revealed that he would make a mythological fiction film starring [[Ashwin Kakumanu]], [[Guru Somasundaram]] and British stunt choreographer [[Greg Burridge]] in the lead roles. Prasad had earlier written and directed the music video for [[Sofia Ashraf]]'s "Kodaikanal Won't" song. Prasad's wife, Basak Gaziler Prasad, a Turkish film producer, decided to produce the film.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Harry-Potter-stuntman-to-play-Ashwins-villain/articleshow/53129650.cms|title=Harry Potter stuntman to play Ashwin's villain - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref> The film was revealed to be a contemporary take on ''[[Baital Pachisi]]'' (a collection of folk tales featuring [[Vetala]] and [[Vikramaditya]]), with Ashwin portraying a video game designer who becomes rich overnight.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2016/sep/15/Joker-explores-a-different-side-of-me-1519490.html|title=Joker explores a different side of me: Guru Somasundaram|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/Etcetera/article14580424.ece|title=Etcetera|first=Nikhil|last=Raghavan|date=20 August 2016|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref> The film began production on [[Madhya Pradesh]] during July 2016, with [[Aishwarya Rajesh]] soon joining the film as the lead actress.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-16/ashwin-kakumanu-details-about-idhu-vedhalam-sollum-kadhai.html|title=Ashwin Kakumanu details about Idhu Vedhalam Sollum Kadhai|date=15 July 2016|website=Behindwoods}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nowrunning.com/ashwin-kakumanu-in-ithu-vedhalam-sollum-kathai/122768/story.htm|title=Ashwin Kakumanu in Ithu Vedhalam Sollum Kathai|website=NOWRUNNING}}</ref>

The profile of the film was raised in June 2017, when Bollywood actor [[Abhay Deol]] joined the film as a co-producer and actor.
