Imman was signed as music director, after earlier reports suggested that Harris Jayaraj had been finalised.[4] Jiiva had initially planned to produce the film himself before P. T. Selvakumar came forward to produce the film.[5]

The film began production in September 2015 and Hansika Motwani was finalised to play the leading female role. A first look poster was later released during late October 2015.[6]

Critical reception

The film received mixed to negative reviews from critics, praising Rayappa's concept, but critcized the backstory & main character development. Sify wrote "Ramprakash Rayappa’s Pokkiri Raja has a terrific idea at its core and we have to definitely appreciate the director for this gutsy attempt. However, a weak back story and tacky CG work disappoints".[8] Only Kollywood wrote "Despite a plausible set-up, the follow through is inconsistent, making Pokkiri Raja an unremarkable outing for Ramprakash."[9] Indiaglitz gave a rating of 1.8/5 saying to "watch it at your own risk."[10] M Suganth from The Times of India gave a more positive rating of 3/5 stating that "ultimately, it is such constant stream of laughs in the second half make up for a first half full of yawns."[11] Behindwoods gave it a 2/5 saying that it contains a "good plot which could have been done full justice with a better screenplay."[12]
