=== Development ===
Though [[K. Balachander]] had been toying with the idea of making a sequel to his 1985 film ''[[Sindhu Bhairavi (film)|Sindhu Bhairavi]]'' for over 10 years since the early 1990s, he eventually abandoned the idea as he believed people would compare it unfavourably to the film. Near the end of the TV series ''[[Anni (TV series)|Anni]]'', produced by his company Minbimangal, he went searching for an idea for his next series and rediscovered the sequel to the film he had written years before, albeit not very diligently.<ref name="rediff">{{Cite web |last=Warrier |first=Shobha |author-link=Shobha Warrier |date=6 March 2003 |title=Sindhu Bhairavi is back |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2003/mar/06sindhu.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210712064923/https://www.rediff.com/movies/2003/mar/06sindhu.htm |archive-date=12 July 2021 |access-date=29 November 2021 |website=[[Rediff.com]]}}</ref> The title of the series ''Sahana'' is a reference to the [[Carnatic raga]] of the [[Sahana (raga)|same name]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Sundaram |first=Lakshmi |date=12 March 2003 |title=From Sindhu Bhairavi to Sahana |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/from-sindhu-bhairavi-to-sahana/article28402042.ece |url-status=live |access-date=29 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210712082327/https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/from-sindhu-bhairavi-to-sahana/article28402042.ece |archive-date=12 July 2021}}</ref>

=== Casting ===
Balachander initially wanted the main cast of the film to reprise their roles in the series. [[Sivakumar]] was unable to return as JKB as he was committed to another series. [[Suhasini Maniratnam|Suhasini]] was willing to return as Sindhu, but Balachander decided on recasting. Executive Subha said, "You cannot separate JKB and Sindhu. Sir (Balachander) felt if we are going to have a different JKB, let's have a different Sindhu too". The role of JKB went to [[Y. G. Mahendran]]. He considered it a challenge to portray JKB, due to his reputation as a comedian. Balachander and his unit were initially unable to locate [[Sulakshana (actress)|Sulakshana]], who played Bhairavi in the film and had long since retired from acting, and decided to [[Killing off|kill off]] Bhairavi. However, Sulakshana learned about the project and approached Balachander, saying she would portray Bhairavi. The script was rewritten to have her character alive. Sulakshana said, "[Bhairavi] is still the same soft person. The only difference is she is older and the mother of two children. There is more understanding between JKB and Bhairavi now -- she doesn't fight with him". Carnatic singer Anuradha Krishnamurthy, who had never acted before, was approached by Minbimangal to portray Sindhu. She was reluctant to accept the offer, due to her lack of interest in acting. But after her husband persuaded, she met Balachander, who promised to ensure that her commitment to the series would not affect her concerts; Anuradha then agreed to the role.<ref name="rediff" /> Newcomer Kavya Shekar was cast as the title character after one of her father's friends recommended her to Balachander.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Swaminathan |first=Chitra |date=12 May 2005 |title=In control |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/in-control/article28167108.ece |access-date=29 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211129113631/https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/in-control/article28167108.ece |archive-date=29 November 2021}}</ref>
