In early 2016, director [[Pandiraj]] and [[G. V. Prakash Kumar]] discussed the idea of making a sequel to the director's successful comedy film, ''[[Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga]]'' (2013).

The film began production in early 2017 and developed quietly, before a press release in March 2017 revealed that the film was titled ''Semma'' and had completed its shoot. Calling the film a "full length comedy", Pandiraj revealed that the film was based on a real life incident which happened at the wedding of director Vallikanth's friend. Actress Arthana Binu and actor Jana were introduced to the Tamil film industry with the project, while a bevy of supporting actors including [[Yogi Babu]], [[Kovai Sarala]] and [[Sujatha Sivakumar]] were stated to have worked on the film during schedules held in [[Chennai]] and [[Trichy]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2017/mar/09/pandiraj-to-produce-semma-1579194.html|title=Pandiraj to produce Semma|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/a-sema-tamil-debut-for-arthana-binu/articleshow/57538856.cms|title=A 'Sema' Tamil debut for Arthana Binu - Times of India|publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|title=Sema Official Trailer 2|url=http://www.pakka.tv/entertainment/trailers/sema-official-trailer-2--gv-prakash-kumar-arthana-binu--valliganth--pandiraj8920/|work=PakkaTv|date=14 May 2018}}</ref>
