Production

Sources in late October 2011 disclosed that C. S. Amudhan was working on his second film, which too was supposed to be a spoof like his debut Thamizh Padam (2010). According to reports, the film was titled as Thalavali and was to feature look-alikes of lead Tamil actors Vijay and Ajith Kumar. The claims were denied by Amudhan, who officially announced his second film as Rendavathu Padam ten days later, clarifying that the film would not be a spoof. Produced by film distributor Dharani Vasudevan of ScreenKrafts, photo shoots for the project began by the end of November 2011.

Prior to the announcement, Amudhan had already selected Vimal, Aravind Akash and his former college friend, Richard, for the lead roles. In December 2011, Vijayalakshmi was chosen for the lead female role. Sanjana Singh, who had previously appeared in Renigunta, was also selected to play another role in the film. The film was shot in late 2011 and 2012 across Chennai, Hyderabad, Pondicherry, Malaysia and Bangkok, with Venkat Prabhu and Ineya joining the team to act in a single song.

The film has however remained unreleased following the producer's financial problems. In an interview in 2014, Amudhan revealed that he had not anticipated such challenges to release the film, especially considering the success of his first film. In 2018, following the release of Thamizh Padam 2, Amudhan reiterated his hopes of releasing the film in the future, stating that "talks were on".
