It was initially announced to Srikanth on February 2013 that Ganesh, a former assistant to directors S. S. Rajamouli, Vikraman, R. Kannan and Milind Rau would be making a film named Nambiar and had approached actor - music composer Vijay Antony to play the title role. However, due to his prior commitments, he agreed to compose music for the film. Comedy actor Santhanam was approached to play another role sharing the same screen length with the lead actor. Actress Sunaina was signed in to play the female lead role. Srikanth's wife Vandana makes her entry as the costume designer of the film.[4] Arya was asked to play an important guest role and he shot for the film and dubbed for his own lines without demanding a remuneration.[3]

Ganesh called this as his "dream project" and also reportedly approached Mohan Nambiar, son of veteran villain actor Nambiar and got formal permission from him before naming the film after the late actor.[5] The shoot of the first schedule of the film was happening in Chennai in June 2013.
