	During the making of ''[[Anjali (1990 film)\|Anjali]]'' (1990), Ratnam told actor and director [[Kitty (actor)\|Kitty]] the outline of ''Roja'' and offered him to direct the film. Kitty declined, as he wanted to do something of his own. As Ratnam was telling him the outline, the subject became more crystallised. Kitty did not pick it up and when filmmaker [[K. Balachander]] asked Ratnam, he told him the outline. All the developments happened after that.{{Sfn\|Rangan\|2012\|p=125}} It was Balachander who approached Ratnam to make a film for his banner. As Balachander was the inspiration and the reason for Ratnam entering Tamil films, when he asked him to make a film for his banner, Ratnam wanted it to be one of the best films they had produced. Ratnam was keen that it needed to be of Balachander's standard. Balachander instantly approved the outline of the film when Ratnam narrated. However, he disliked the title ''Roja'' (Rose) as he felt it sounded similar to the name of a brand of crushed [[Areca nut\|betel nut]]. Ratnam thought the title represented Kashmir because "the rose is something beautiful but with thorns". To satisfy Balachander, he suggested another title ''Irudhi Varai'' (Till the end), but Balachander preferred ''Roja'', which was finalised.{{sfn\|Rangan\|2012\|pp=123-124}}		During the making of ''[[Anjali (1990 film)\|Anjali]]'' (1990), Ratnam told actor and director [[Kitty (actor)\|Kitty]] the outline of ''Roja'' and offered him to direct the film.
