Production
Selvam was directed by K. S. Gopalakrishnan, who wrote the screenplay from a story by B. S. Ramiah. The film was produced by actor V. K. Ramasamy, who did not feature. It was lighter than the melodramatic films Sivaji Ganesan was previously known for starring in. The film ridicules horoscopes, astrology and superstition.

Soundtrack
The music was composed by K. V. Mahadevan.

Release and reception
Selvam was released on 11 November 1966. Kalki criticised Gopalakrishnan's screenplay for lacking essence and direction for lacking newness, but said the dialogues had richness.
