Keerthy Suresh was reported to play the lead role, while M. S. Bhaskar would be a part of the supporting cast.[3] On 4 December, Vijay Kiragandur, owner of the production house, publicly announced the project through his and the houses' social media accounts. Suman Kumar, who previously co-wrote the streaming series The Family Man would be making his directorial debut with the film titled Raghu Thatha featuring Keerthy Suresh in the lead role.[1] The film's title is based off "raghu thatha", a mispronounced line from the dialogue "Ek gaav mein ek kisaan rahata tha" (transl. In a village there lived a farmer) from Indru Poi Naalai Vaa (1981).[4] Principal photography commenced in December 2022,[1] and wrapped by 26 May.[5]
