Initially, Yuvan Shankar Raja was approached to compose the soundtrack but he refused to work stating that there won't be more scope for his music in this script.
Devi Sri Prasad and Yuvan Shankar Raja were first reported to be the music composers of Thani Oruvan but Hiphop Tamizha Adhi was finalized as the music director in December 2014.
The film began without a title and was referred to by the tentative title, Thani Oruvan, which was confirmed as the film's official title in June 2014.
