Production notes

AR Gandhi Krishna, former assistant to Shankar in "Sivaji" made his directorial debut with the film "Chellamae". Sujatha wrote the dialogue for the screenplay before his death. Filming began on location in Ooty, then moved to Tenkasi, Kuttralam, Ambasamudram, and Papanasam. G V Prakash scored the music for the movie while award-winning lyricist Vairamuthu penned the lyrics. Vairamuthu said one of his best recent works was the song he wrote for this film.

"Ananda Thandavam" was produced by Aaskar Films' Venu Ravichandran. Shankar, who worked as associate to the late cinematographer Jeeva, was "cranking the camera"..
