Storyline

In September 2014, Kalaipuli S. Thanu signed on to finance a project directed by Atlee, which would feature Vijay in the lead role. Atlee continued to script the film through late 2014, while it was announced that Vijay would join the team to start filming after the completion of his other venture, Puli (2015). Actresses Samantha and Amy Jackson were reported to have signed the film in January 2015, after a few Hindi actresses turned down the opportunity to work on a Tamil film. Several of the technical crew involved in Atlee's previous film, Raja Rani (2013), were also added to the team including music composer G. V. Prakash Kumar, cinematographer George C. Williams, editor Ruben and art director T. Muthuraj. An official launch event was held at the Kerala Club House on the East Coast Road in Chennai, with several members of the cast and crew in attendance. Alongside the lead actor, it was revealed that Prabhu, Raadhika Sarathkumar, director Mahendran, and actress Meena’s daughter Nainika would be a part of the film. Several titles for the film including Moondru Mugam, Vetri, Thuppaki 2, Khakee and Thaarumaaru were considered, before the makers finalised Theri in late November 2015.

G. V. Prakash Kumar was signed to compose the film's music and collaborated with Atlee for second time after the success of their previous album, Raja Rani (2013) and also with Vijay after Thalaivaa (2013). Theri is the 50th film that Prakash had signed, and with Atlee, he went to Goa in March 2015 for a music composing session. Uthara Unnikrishnan and Deva recorded songs for the film, while Vijay and Neeti Mohan also recorded a song for the film. The music album of Theri was launched on March 20 in Chennai. Vijay and T. Rajendhar have sung one song each in the film.[30] Behindwoods gave the album a rating of 3.25 out of 5. Sify gave the album a rating of 3.75 out of 5. Indiaglitz gave the album a rating of 4 out of 5.
