→Trivia
- The film is a remake of the 2011 Malayalam movie 'Seniors', but the story was adapted to a Tamil village setting.
- Actor Dhanush, who produced the film, made a special cameo appearance in the song 'Kannamma' as a favour to the director.
- The village carnival scenes were shot during the actual annual festival in a real village, using local crowds as extras.
- Director A. Sarkunam initially wanted a different actor for the lead but cast newcomer Appukutty after being impressed by his audition.
- The film's title 'Naiyaandi' refers to a traditional Tamil folk dance, which is a key part of the village carnival in the plot.
- Despite being a comedy, the movie subtly references the social issue of eve-teasing through the character of the local goon.
- The soundtrack by Yuvan Shankar Raja reused a melody from his earlier score for the film 'Pudhupettai', but with new orchestration.
