Ashok, an assistant director to Kamal Haasan for Virumaandi (2004), announced plans to make his debut through Aayul Regai. Pasupathy signed on to play the lead role but later opted against working on the film, prompting Thennavan to be signed on. The film was shot in Bangalore.

In his review, film critic Balaji Balasubramaniam wrote "with a complex story, a complicated screenplay, unfamiliar actors and no masala elements like fights or comedy or item numbers, Aayul Regai is Tamil cinema at its riskiest!"
