Production

In 2018, the film director RDM, also known as Ranjith Manikandan, has zeroed in on the popular slogan, ''Kavalthurai Ungal Nanban'', for the title of his next film. Video jockey Suresh Ravi was cast in the lead role. The film director and the actor had previously collaborated for a comedy caper titled ''Adhi Maedhavigal'' in 2014, which was shelved before release. Talking about the film, Suresh Ravi said, "''KUN'' will be the first heavy-weight drama in my career. The film will play on the relationship dynamics between a police officer and a food delivery executive, who come together by chance. While I play the delivery boy, Mime Gopi will be seen as the cop. Our film will celebrate the real police spirit, which is, unfortunately, being shown in poor light in many films". In January 2020, the film producer

said, "KUN is a reminder that content is king and presenting a hard-hitting story is still possible sans any big names. If only this effectively arresting film hadn't fallen prey to some commercial compromises and monotonous representation, it could have been so much more".

said, "the title ''Kaavalthurai Ungal Nanban'' might sound as if the film is yet another fictional plot to glorify the cops. But the film's director RDM has registered the vicious side of the police force with his maiden venture, which is hard-hitting".
