Director Myshkin approached a foreign costume-designer to design a superhero outfit for the character in the movie. The pre-production of the movie started earlier in 2008 and popular actor Suriya was expected to play the lead role. AR Rahman was expected to be the composer of the movie. But, later they were dropped from the movie.

The superhero costume wore by Jiiva weighed 10 kgs. Jiiva suffered from some infections in his leg because of the costume he was made to wear. Myshkin initially named the movie as Agniputhuran, that later turned into Mugamoodi.
