Udhayanidhi Stalin who is also the producer of the film not only thanked Dhanush for the Maamannan review, but also atrributed a lot more to the actor.

Both Udhay and Mari Selvaraj have spoken about the former wanting to collaborate with the latter ever since the release of Pariyerum Perumal in 2018. That was Mari Selvaraj's debut film as director and soon after release, he had committed to direct Dhanush in Karnan. When Udhay once again approached Mari Selvaraj post Karnan, the director was tied to directing Dhruv Vikram in a Kabbadi biopic. However considering Maamannan is Udhayanidhi's last film as an actor, Udhay was able to talk Mari Selvaraj into directing his film first. Maamannan FDFS, Plot, Censor, Runtime, OTT & More
