Production
Karuppu Panam was directed and photographed by G. R. Nathan. The screenplay was written by Valampuri Somanathan from a story by Kannadasan. Editing was handled by S. Surya (for whom this was a posthumous release) and R. Devarajan, and art direction was handled by Alagappan.[3][4] Kannadasan also played the antagonist, and many viewers believed the film parodied actor M. G. Ramachandran's public life, given the tumultuous relationship between him and Kannadasan.[5]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Viswanathan–Ramamoorthy. Lyrics were written by Kannadasan.[6]
