Production
Director Bala decided to produce the remake of Malayalam film 'Joseph' under his banner with actor R. K. Suresh reprising the role of Joju George. John Mahendran was signed to write the dialogues for the original script of Shahi Kabir. Suresh increased his weight by 22 kilos and later had to shed weight for his young appearance, moreover, Suresh had to give three different voices in the dubbing for the film. Poorna and Madhu Shalini were signed to play the roles of Athmiya Rajan and Madhuri Braganza respectively. Malayalam actor Anil Murali reprised the same role in the original.
Logesh Balachandran of 'The Times of India' opined that "Overall, 'Vichithiran' might appeal an audience that is on the lookout for an engaging emotional thriller as their weekend watch". Vignesh Madhu of 'Cinema Express' stated that "With a lot going for it, especially RK Suresh's performance and the earnestness in storytelling, 'Visithiran' is definitely one of the better remakes to come our way hitting not only the same highs of the original but resorting to similar lows". A critic from 'Behindwoods' said that "'Visithiran' which is an official remake of the Malayalam superhit stays true to the original thanks largely to the captain of the ship M. Padmakumar".
