Innisai Mazhai was the second film directed by Shoba Chandrasekhar after Nanbargal (1991).[3][4] The film was produced by her son Vijay, he was credited as Joseph Vijay in the title credits.[5][4] Since it was a romantic story, S. A. Chandrasekhar insisted Shoba to direct this film as the audience branded him as a director who only makes films based on the law.[6]
The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics written by Vaali.[7]
