Production
Halitha Shameem, a graduate in electronic media, had trained for seven years under directors Pushkar-Gayathri, Mysskin and Samuthirakani. When she decided to make her directorial debut, she said that Poovarasam Peepee was the first story she could think of.[1] She stated that it was a coming-of-age film [7] "about a bunch of boys who lead a carefree life and play whole day long, till they are forced to grow up, overnight".[1] Cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa, besides agreeing to shoot the film, decided to produce it as well, while Shameem also worked as the editor, colourist and lyricist.[1]
For the roles of the three boys, Vasanth, Pravin Kishore and Gaurav Kaalai were selected. Barring Vasanth, who had acted in Aaranya Kaandam and Veyyil, the other children were newcomers with no acting experience. While the director met Gaurav Kaalai accidentally when she was scouting for locations around Madurai, Pravin Kishore contacted the team after seeing an advertisement on local cable channels.[8] The film was shot for over 60 days in and around Pollachi and Dharapuram.[1]
Soundtrack
The film's soundtrack was composed by Aruldev. Aruldev stated that he had gone for "ethnic and deep sounds" and that instruments associated with world music like the hand drum and duduk were used for the score.[4] The composer had also planned to record a musical piece for the film with a quartet from the UK.[4] The soundtrack album was launched on May 14, 2014.[9]
