Development
In early 2007, it was reported that director Boopathy Pandian would direct a film written by his assistant, Seenu Vasan, with Ajith Kumar expected to play the lead role.[7] The film was briefly postponed as Ajith had to complete his remaining projects and soon Boopathy Pandian confirmed otherwise and revealed that the film would actually be made by Rajakaliamman Films with Vikram and Nayantara in the lead roles.[8][9] However Vikram's commitment to Kanthaswamy and Raavanan resulted in the film eventually becoming shelved. In late 2010, Vikram was forced to pull out of his film with director Selvaraghavan after the project was shelved too and gave dates to a new venture produced by the same studio, for a film to be directed by Suseenthiran.[10] Reports emerged that the film would be titled Vendhan,[11] but this was dismissed by the director.[12] The director initially wanted to experiment with a new script but to make use of the actor's tight schedules he chose to use Seenu's original script. The new title of the film, "Rajapattai" was eventually released in May 2011,[13][14] with the first schedule planned to begin in early June.[15] A first press meet was held on 6 June 2011 with the entire crew being present. Kanakaratna Ramesh was to produce the film,[10] however his teenage sons Pratish and Santosh were eventually revealed to be producers, launching their own banner named SP Creations.[16]Suseenthiran disclosed that the film would be a "full-fledged commercial" masala film, with action, comedy and romance,[17][18] further adding that the dialogues would be penned by Bhaskar Sakthi.[17] By September 2011, reports confirmed that the film had been taken over by Prasad V. Potluri's PVP Cinemas, after Ramesh faced financial restraints.[3]

Casting
Reports suggested that the film would depict the relationship between a grandfather, played by K. Vishwanath and his grandson played by Vikram. Furthermore, the film was supposed to feature Vikram in dual roles as father and son,[19][20] however the news was denied by sources, which confirmed that Vikram was to essay dual roles initially, but since the script had been reworked, he would play only one character.[21][22] Vikram was revealed to play a stunt man who aspires to become a noted villain in the film industry,[23] with the makers adding that his character had negative shades.[24][25][26] In March 2011, Deeksha Seth confirmed her presence in the film,[27] citing that she would portray the leading female role of an IT professional.[28] For a parallel lead female role, Amala Paul was signed on, but was forced to pull out due to schedule problems.[29] Sources reported that Mithra Kurian was then signed on for the film for her second big Tamil venture after Kaavalan,[30] after discussions with Abhinaya were unsuccessful.[31] However, the reports turned out to be false. Pradeep Rawat, best known for his performance in Ghajini, was selected to play the main antagonist in the film.[32] Actresses Shriya Saran and Reemma Sen, who had both worked together with Vikram earlier, were roped in to perform an item number together,[33] after attempts to sign Hansika Motwani, who was reportedly offered 1.2 crores for the role,[34] had failed.[35] In late October, National Film Award-winner Thambi Ramaiah as well as cinematographer-turned-actor Aruldass, who had also essayed a pivotal role in the director's Naan Mahaan Alla, were roped in for other supporting roles.[28] Suseenthiran also confirmed that he would rejoin with the Naan Mahaan Alla crew, with Yuvan Shankar Raja, R. Madhi and Mu. Kasi Viswanathan taking care of the music, cinematography and editing, respectively.

Rajapattai's score and soundtrack are composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, becoming his first work for a Vikram-starrer.[36] Since Yuvan Shankar Raja's previous single tracks from Vaanam and Mankatha had met with success,[49] the team planned to release a single track from Rajapattai, too, by late October.[50] However, the plan did not materialize. The final mixing of the songs was planned to be held in London.[51]
The album's Telugu version was launched first on 7 December 2011 at Taj Deccan in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh by director V. V. Vinayak,[52] with other noted Telugu film directors S. S. Rajamouli, Krish and badminton player Jwala Gutta being present along with the cast and crew.[53][54] The original Tamil version was released two days later at the Anna Centenary Auditorium in Kotturpuram,Chennai.[55][56]
The soundtrack album features five tracks, with the first song ("Podi Paiyan Polave") being repeated at the end. As reported earlier,[57][58] Vikram had performed the song "Laddu Laddu" in both languages. The song "Paniye Pani Poove" was co-sung by Renu Kannan, one of the finalists of the second season of the reality-based singing competition Airtel Super Singer.
Behindwoods top ten songs list was topped from December 02nd 2011 to December 15th 2011 by "Laddu Laddu Rendu Laddu" the song which they described as "tread-mills back to the glorious Ilayaraja's era, bringing out the raw raunchiness with its perfect orchestration. Vikram along with the sultry sounding Suchitra pack the show like an 80s disco station. The veena rendition towards the end with the pitched bass creates the perfect item number, which may find many takers on the dancing floor. Along with the dancing sirens Shriya Saran and Reema Sen, the song will be the next most demanded affair on the charts". "'Rajapattai' songs on the whole are a treat to those who like an interesting collage of music..." was the summery given by IndiaGlitz on this album.
