Production
Chandrasekhar initially planned to remake his Kannada film Geluvu Nannade as Vetri Namadhe with Vijayakanth and Mohan in lead roles; however the project was shelved after Mohan left the film hence Chandrasekhar started another project which eventually became Saatchi.[5] The lead role was offered to Prabhu, and later Karthik, both of whom declined; Vijayakanth was ultimately cast.[6] Filming took place in Salem.[7]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Shankar–Ganesh.[8]
