==Production==
Writer [[S. N. Swamy]] got the idea for the film from a photograph featured in an English-language Sunday magazine published from [[Calcutta]]. Swami recalled in an interview that it was the time when [[mafia]] bosses had a glorified image in the country after the national [[The Emergency (India)|emergency period in India (1975–1977)]]. That was the time when public began to learn about [[Bombay]]-based mafia leaders such as [[Haji Mastan]], Yusuf Patel, [[Varadarajan Mudaliar]] among others. The magazine had an article on Mastan and a photograph featuring much respected actor [[Dilip Kumar]] and his wife [[Saira Banu]] touching Mastan's feet for giving ''[[pranāma]]''. It was shocking for Swami, he never imagined a mafia leader would be respected as such. It inspired the plot for ''Irupatham Noottandu'' and the character Sagar Alias Jacky.<ref>{{cite news|last=Antony|first=Seena|title=മുഖ്യമന്ത്രിയുടെ ഓഫിസിലെ സ്വർണക്കടത്തും ജാക്കിയും: എസ്‍.എൻ. സ്വാമി അഭിമുഖം|url=https://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/movie-news/2020/07/08/sn-swamy-about-gold-smuggling-thread-in-irupatham-noottandu-movie.html|accessdate=9 July 2020|work=[[Manorama Online]]|date=8 July 2020|language=ml}}</ref> The lengthy climax of the film was shot in a single day.
