Nandaa played a police officer for the first time. The director and producer cast him after being impressed with his performance in Eeram.[2] To prepare for the role, Nandaa spent 35 days training at the Hyderabad Police Academy. He said the film, unlike other Tamil police films, would be realistic, avoiding unrealistic fight sequences, swag and "punch dialogues".[3]
The tunes for the album are composed by Sundar C. Babu.[citation needed]

The New Indian Express gave the film a negative review and stated that "For the audience, Vellore Maavattam offers nothing that they haven't seen before!".[4] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "[Vellore Maavattam] isn't a superhero film. Neither is Muthukumar a super cop. And the significant fact is you understand his angst and empathise with him".[5] Sify wrote, "The film has a predictable story of a honest police officer, which works big time due to Nanda’s immense screen presence and performance".[6]
