After beginning pre-production works in early 2013, the film, Puli, began its shoot in November 2014.
It was reported that A. R. Rahman would be the film's music composer, the team later confirmed Devi Sri Prasad had been signed.
Natarajan Subramaniam chose to continue his work as a cinematographer with the film, despite his acting success in Sathuranga Vettai (2014), revealing he was excited to work alongside such an ensemble cast.
The team also picked five costume designers to take care of clothing for the actors, with Manish Malhotra, Deepali Noor, Chaitanya Rao, Siva and Sai all brought on board.
Four stunt choreographers were selected to take care of action scenes with international technicians Sang Lin and Pradit Seeluem, brought in to work alongside Sunil Rodrigues and Dilip Subbarayan.
Makuta VFX were signed on to be in charge of the film's visual effects. This is the team which worked for Rajinikanth's Enthiran.
Chimbu Deven subsequently worked on finalising the script of the film between January and August 2014.
The major part of the film is shooted in Chalakudy and Nelliambathy.
Chimbu Deven stated that the film would feature two leading female roles to appear alongside Vijay. Initial reports had linked Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone to the roles, but high remuneration subsequently meant neither were signed. Shruti Haasan confirmed that she had signed the film in July 2014. Hansika Motwani was also added to the cast thereafter to portray a princess, the daughter of Sridevi's character.
The team began filming on 10 November 2014 at the Adityaram Studios on the East Coast Road, Chennai, where a song featuring Vijay and Hansika Motwani was shot in a set replicating a castle put up by art director, Muthuraj.
The film had begun shoot without a title and had been widely referred to in the media as Vijay 58. Other titles such as Garuda, the script's original name Maareesan, Maru Dheeran and Por Vaal were also registered by the producers, while finalising on a title.
The team consequently confirmed the title as Puli in early January 2015, after having bought the rights from director S. J. Surya.
