Production
Nassar had originally planned only to direct the film, but after his initial choices for lead actor - Prashanth and Ajith Kumar - pulled out, he chose to also portray the lead role. As a result, the film's production was delayed by over a year from early 1999. Actress Ranjitha made a comeback to acting with 'Maayan', after taking a three-year sabbatical post-marriage. The film also marked the first major role for Pasupathy, whose previous venture 'Marudhanayagam' was shelved.
The first schedule of the shooting was held at Chennai and Chengelpet. The second schedule was then held at Tiruvannamalai and the forests of Thalaikonam.
