G V Prakash encouraged Anucharan to direct when he heard the script. Based on something seen by director Anucharan when he "was roaming on the streets of Chennai", 90 per cent of the film takes place in Chennai while some shooting has taken place in Puducherry and Kovalam. In September 2014, Anucharan spoke with New Indian Express and shared that "now it has been six months and "Kirumi" is almost complete.” It was announced in January 2015 that filming was complete and the project had moved into post production. The film score and soundtrack are composed by K.
Upon its July 2015 release, the soundtrack for Kirumi met with critical approval. The Hindu wrote "Composer K has been fairly consistent with his output even as the films they are part of — such as Kallappadam, Mahabalipuram and Kaadu — have been failing consistently. Kirumi's soundtrack is almost a comeback of sorts for K as he delivers a brilliant collection akin to the sound of Santhosh Narayanan. Topping the soundtrack is ‘Naanal Poovaai’ that has a curiously ethereal sound (which becomes more evident and interesting in the karaoke version) and K uses the vocal interplay between himself and Janani to beautiful effect."
