Production
The movie started after Ravichandran's dream project Shanthi-Kranthi experienced a financial crisis. Kushboo, an actress in Shanthi-kranthi and the heroine in Ranadheera, Anjada Gandu and Yugapurusha, offered assistance. She eventually convinced the producer of Chinna Thambi to become Ramachaari's producer. She also purchased dubbing rights. Then, Ravichandran tried to find distributors. Without a complete plan, Ravichandran ended up selling his distribution rights. Ramachari became a hit.
