Production

Producer G. Dhananjayan acquired the remake rights of Kavaludaari in early April 2019.[14] On 23 August 2019, it was reported that Sibi Sathyaraj will be playing the lead role, along with his father Sathyaraj.[15] The film was reported to be helmed by Pradeep Krishnamoorthy, whom Sibi worked with him in Sathya (2017).[16] It was later announced that Sathyaraj will not be seen in the film, whereas Nandita Swetha, Nassar and Jayaprakash was added to the cast.[10][11] On 23 October 2019,[5] the makers announced the title of the film as Kabadadaari.[6][7][8]

Principal photography began on 1 November 2019, and was reported to be wrapped up within 65 working days. Director Pradeep Krishnamoorthy makes his acting debut in this film.[17][13] On November 2019, it was announced that the film will be simultaneously made in Telugu as Kapatadhaari,[18] with Sumanth reprising the role.[4]

The post-production activities of the film came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 11 May 2020, the makers resumed the dubbing portions of the film, thus, becoming the first film to resume the dubbing, following the safety guidelines imposed by the government.[19][20] Producer Dhananjayan thanked Nassar on Twitter that he agreed to reduce from that salary by 15% and completed the dubbing.[21][22] Production of film was delayed due to COVID-19 for almost 200 days and finally wrapped on 30 September 2020. This delay cost the producer over ₹1 crore through interest and other costs.[23][24]
