Producer Issaki Sundar saw Dushyanth, the son of Ramkumar Ganesan and grandson of Sivaji Ganesan, at the Sivaji Productions office and offered him the opportunity to make his acting debut. After initially rejecting the offer, he ultimately agreed after consulting with his uncle Prabhu and cousin Vikram Prabhu.[3] Dushyanth was also credited as Junior Sivaji during the production of the film. The film was named Success, after the first on screen dialogue of Sivaji from the film Parasakthi (1952).[4][5]
Music was composed by Deva, while lyrics were written by Vaali, Kabilan, Snehan and Viveka.[citation needed]

The reviewer from AllIndianSite.com noted "To sum up 'Success' is not the right film for Jr Ganesan to be successful."[6] Shobha Warrier of Rediff.com wrote "Director Suresh Prasanna is directionless and clueless from the beginning. It seems like the only direction he had is to make a Sivaji Ganesan film and make Dushyant another Sivaji".[7]
