After the release of his previous directorial Settai, R. Kannan was approached to direct Vallavanukku Pullum Aayudham, but Kannan opted out of the film as he was unhappy on first copy production agreement,[1] he then announced that his next directorial would have Karthi in lead role titled "Alangaram" but the project got shelved. In early November 2013, director R. Kannan announced that his next venture would feature Vimal in the lead role and would be produced by Michael Rayappan. Kannan revealed that the film will have a rural background with Vimal playing an educated youth from a farming family and the troubles he gets into due to his energetic nature. Later in that month, Priya Anand was signed on to play an "educated girl who hails from Madurai", with Sathish also added to the cast. Filming started in December 2013 on a train, with a photo shoot also being held with the three actors.
The team had revealed that they had registered two potential titles for the film, Sakkarai and Kaadhal Konjam Kammi, but opted to go with the latter as they felt the former may have created confusion with a Tamil film that had released earlier, Sakkarakatti (2008). In a significant change, Soori was signed on to replace Sathish in the supporting role and subsequently the team chose to rename the film as Oru Oorla Rendu Raja, to make most of Soori's presence in the venture. Malaysian Tamil actress Shasha Sri who had done small roles in films like Kanden Kadhalai and Paiyaa accepted to play the role a "bubbly village belle" opposite Soori. In April, director Kannan said that Vishakha Singh had been signed for an important role in the film, albeit a cameo role. Iniya was selected to dance for a special number in the film.
