Production
Sharad Sharan was approached by Astro in 2005 to make three films, each with a budget of one million dollars, considerably more than a typical Malay film. Sharad, who had apprenticed as a film maker in the US and Bollywood, was keen to make the films in a manner similar to India films, and expressed his desire to rich prioritise production values. The first movie 'Diva' was released in June 2017, while 'Tipu Kanan Tipu Kari' was the second venture. He subsequently signed on cinematographer Santosh Thundiyil, who had previously worked on films such as 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' (1998) and 'Krrish' (2006). Television director Prakash Murugiah worked as an assistant on the sets of the film.
The film features Indonesian actors Christian Sugiono, Titi Kamal as well as Malaysians Natasha Hudson, Sazzy Falak, Hans Isaac and Catherine Wilson in leading roles. Astro requested the presence of Indonesian actors to boost ticket sales in the country.
Indian actor R. Madhavan shot for a guest appearance in the film during a day-long trip to Kuala Lumpur. The scene was shot at Kuala Lumpur Sentral station in March 2007. Madhavan agreed to be a part of the film because he had been attached to an animated Tamil film by Sharad Sharan titled 'Om Ganesha', which eventually did not materialise.
Release
A film critic from CinemaOnline.com wrote "'Tipu Kanan Tipu Kiri' is a colourful misadventure in unevenness and hollowness". The reviewer added the film "gets one star for Titi Kamal's prancing about, another star for Hans Isaac's effective turn and one more star for the banging soundtrack."
