It fascinated me. It was such a dramatic story, this man going from to Bombay and ruling the city. I outlined this thought to Kamal Haasan and he said fine.

– Mani Ratnam on his inspiration to make the film In the mid 1980s, narrated a story inspired by the American film to who agreed to act in the film. And were also confirmed to act. However Ananthu, then an associate of Haasan, felt that it would be a Ganesan-focused film and not a Haasan film. The project was dropped.

Haasan later told Srinivasan about the-then upcoming director. Ratnam had previously wanted to cast Haasan as the protagonist in his debut film as director, (1983), but the collaboration could not materialise then as Haasan was committed to (1981) at that time. In 1986, Srinivasan came to Ratnam's house and gave him an envelope, which contained a cassette of (1970). Ratnam, after watching the film, met Haasan and initially rejected the offer, citing that a story based on Pagla Kahin Ka was not his cup of tea. After Haasan asked him the kind of film he preferred to make, Ratnam suggested two stories: one was on the lines of (1971) and (1984), while the other was based on the life of underworld don; the latter was finalised. Casting In September 1986, Haasan gave his schedule dates for the film to Srinivasan.

Ratnam wanted Haasan to have as realistic a look as possible. He preferred Haasan in traditional attire. Haasan was initially hesitant regarding his look and wanted to sport a beard similar to that of his old-aged look in (1983), as he felt it would not give away his jaw line, which would reveal that the character was portrayed by a younger person.

Ratnam, in turn, did not want Haasan to sport a look similar to Sagara Sangamam or any of his other previous films. Haasan sported to provide some weight around his jaw for Velu Nayakan's old-age look. Neela, the wife of Velu Nayakan, played by, who made her debut in the film, was created by Muktha Srinivasan as he felt that without the character, the film would have had more violent content and that it would not cater to family audiences. Ratnam wanted a 'new face' to portray Neela as he felt the character would have the required zest and gusto if it was done by a newbie. Claimed that she was approached to play this character, but refused as she considered that speaking in Tamil would be difficult for her. Saranya sent her photograph to Ratnam to audition for the role. She was later added to the cast after a successful screen test.

According to Ratnam, she was the first and only person who auditioned for the role. Saranya's father was against her being cast, but she and her mother managed to convince him. Ratnam believes that was suggested to him by Haasan, when was being considered for the role of Charumati's husband. Made a cameo appearance in the song 'Nila Adhu Vanathumele' as a gypsy dancer. Actress featured in an extended cameo appearance as Shyla, while Tinnu Anand featured as Ajit, the son of a police officer murdered by Velu.

Filming Ratnam initially planned to complete the shooting in 60 days and 70 rolls of film. Haasan was paid ₹1.75 million (US$145,583 in 1987) and the initial budget for the film was ₹6 million (US$500,000 in 1987).

But soon, time and cost overruns had increased the budget to beyond ₹10 million (US$830,000 in 1987). According to Srinivasan, commenced in November 1986 and the first lasted for 10 days, but the scenes shot during this period were scrapped because Haasan disliked them, prompting script rewrites and causing shooting to be delayed.

According to Ratnam, a three-day test shoot, unbeknownst to Srinivasan, was done in December 1986 as the script for the film was not finalised at that time. The test shoots featured Haasan in his get-ups seen in the film, but they did not make it to the final version of the film. The test shoots, however, helped to get the technical aspects of the film on the right track. Ratnam said the actual principal photography of Nayakan began in January 1987. 15 days of shooting took place in the slum areas of.

Using photographs taken there, the film's art director Thota Tharani created a set at Venus Studios in Chennai. Thousands of junior artists were hired to recreate the atmosphere of the slum areas. Additionally, were brought for the same. Haasan helped in the make-up for the other actors in the film and asked Janagaraj and Delhi Ganesh to cut their hair so as to make their characters in their old age scenes look convincing. He used perfume for the female cast. Haasan also brought his own gun, sparing Ratnam the usage of a dummy.

In the scene where Haasan chases the inspector, he uses his own bottle of sugar glass, which he had brought from the. Ratnam had marked around ₹1.2 million (US$100,000 in 1987) for the film's action sequences. In order to make the sequences slick and entertaining, cinematographer and stunt sequence director Jim Allen, who was known for his work stunt sequences in (1975) was chosen. But after three days, he was removed from the film as he charged ₹200,000 per day (US$16,000 in 1987) and Srinivasan could not afford the money. The remaining portions were shot at Bombay (now ), including the portions involving Velu Nayakan's childhood life in the city.

The scene featuring Neela studying for her mathematics exams was suggested by Srinivasan. Velu's childhood portions before he moves to Bombay were canned in for one and a half days. This was also the last part of the principal photography. According to Srinivasan, the film was completed in October 1987. The song 'Naan Sirithal Deepavali' was shot at the spot where the is located today. The old building previously located at that spot was called the 'Indian Express Building' by film industrialists as it was adjacent to the Old office of the.

Thota Tharani converted the building's exterior into a brothel and used the opposite end of the building for Velu's house location. Nayakan was notable for using technique of filmmaking. Ratnam and Haasan met Varadaraja Mudaliar in person and it was Mudaliar who suggested to Ratnam that Velu Nayakan should die in the end when Ratnam asked Mudaliar how he would foresee his own death. Post-production When the film was completed and the first print was ready, it ran for three hours. To tighten the screenplay to make the film entertaining, Srinivasan requested the film's editor Lenin to remove the scenes which were unnecessary.

Themes Although Kamal has acknowledged to Nayakan being inspired by The Godfather, Ratnam has denied this, stating, 'It’s easy to classify films in simple categories. Nayakan and The Godfather belong to the gangster genre. There's no similarity to The Godfather.' Apart from The Godfather, Srinivasan cited (1984) as another influence on Nayakan. Soundtrack The soundtrack was composed by, this being his 400th film soundtrack. Wrote the lyrics for all the songs except 'Nila Adhu Vanathumele', which Ilaiyaraaja himself wrote.

The theme song 'Thenpandi Cheemayile' plays for most of the film; during the introduction titles, it has the colloquial line ' yaar adichaaro' (sung by Ilaiyaraaja), but when it plays later in the film, the line is altered to the more polished ' yaar adithaaro' (sung by Haasan). Film critic asked Ratnam whether this change was an indication to the eventual refinement of Velu Nayakan. Ratnam said that Ilaiyaraaja's portions were recorded first, and that when they went for recording, they had this rustic version which lacked background music, and was of folk quality. Because the song was going to be repeated throughout the film, they also wanted a more orchestral version, and in this version sung by Haasan, the language became more sophisticated.

The song 'Nee Oru Kaadhal Sangeetham', which is based on the raga, is featured on both sides of the original LP record as the second track. For the Hindi dub, composer duo Deepak-Santosh were approached to replace two numbers.

The song 'Chaha Humne Tujhe' served as a replacement for 'Nee Oru Kaadhal' from the Tamil original. However, the original song was dubbed in Hindi as 'Jeevan Ka Sangeet' and is included in the version's soundtrack.

When Srinivasan appealed to the revising committee at Bombay, they said that they would permit the release of the film he produced a letter stating that it was not based on Mudaliar's life. Through writer Mathiolli Shanmugam, Srinivasan met Mudaliar, who gave him a letter, after which the censor appellate board at Bombay permitted the release of the film. Venkateswaran bought the rights of the film after Srinivasan distributed the film. The film was a commercial success, becoming a film. In 2015, Nayakan was screened at the Habitat Film Festival.

Critical reception Nayakan received critical acclaim. On 1 November 1987, stated that Haasan underplayed his role well and demonstrated his histrionics as a godfather in the film well, adding that the film stood out for its sets, taking, colour, richness and international quality camera work. The magazine gave the film one of its highest marks of 60. Writing for in 1989, Madhu Jain believed Nayakan deserved 'a permanent place in the Indian cinema pantheon' after watching it at the 12th International Film Festival in Delhi. Film critic Isbal Masud, writing in the book Cinema in India (1988), described Nayakan as a “landmark' of popular Indian cinema. English journalist stated in his 1997 book The BFI Companion to Crime, 'From the films that followed in the wake of The Godfather, the most interesting is Mani Rathnam's Nayakan (1987) starring Kamal Haasan in a fictional version of the Bombay gangster Varadarajan Mudaliar's life.'

Awards At the 1988, Nayakan won the awards for and. The film was for the in 1988 at the; however, it was not shortlisted among the final nominees. Legacy The film has been inspired from the influential. As a part of its legacy, the film has been acclaimed for being a box-office success whilst containing the critic elements of art. In 2005, the magazine included Nayakan in its list of.

After the film was selected by TIME as one of the best, insiders of the magazine spoke about Ratnam's work in the film, saying 'Ratnam has no such difficulty blending melodrama and music, violence and comedy, realism and delirium, into a two-and-a-half-hour demonstration that, when a gangster's miseries are mounting, the most natural solution is to sing in the rain.' The tagline given to the film by TIME was 'A terrific gangster epic in the Godfather style.'

The film was also ranked 13th in list of greatest films of all time. Nayakan was also included in 's list 'India's 20 greatest films'. In April 2013, on the centenary of Indian cinema, included the film in its list of '100 greatest Indian films of all time'. The famous line in the film, 'Neenga Nallavara Kettavara?' (Are you good or bad?) was used in 'The Punch Song', a song from the film, (2014).

A poster of the film, designed by Abhinav Bhatt from Bangalore depicted Velu Nayakan being asked the line by his grandson. When questioned by Baradwaj Rangan about making a sequel to Nayakan, Ratnam said, 'Never. When you finish a film, you're glad to be rid of it.

You're happy you don't have to go back to that script again. Been there, done that.' The scenes and dialogues from the film have been parodied in (2001), (2004). When stand-up comedian and television anchor Bosskey launched a quirky play titled Dada (Don) in October 2005, he named the cast after famous characters in Tamil films. Accordingly, (one of 's character in the film), Badshah ( in ) and Velu Nayakkar (Haasan's role in Nayakan) play the central characters of a family of brothers. Similarly, in the 2013 comedy film Onbadhule Guru, in which the characters were named after popular protagonists of Tamil cinema, a member of the supporting cast was christened Velu Nayakkar. According to the Telugu newspaper, after being impressed with Nayakan, requested Ratnam to write a similar script, but the project never materialised; its similarities with 's script for (2016) made him accept to star in the latter film.

Controversy In October 2012, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Nayakan Haasan published an article in, titled 'Of course Velu Nayakan doesn’t dance', in which he recounted the the film. In that article, he derided Srinivasan, claiming that the latter was not happy about shooting the film in Bombay, that films 'were a business' for him and he 'wasn't interested in films as art'. In response, Srinivasan sent a legal notice to Haasan.

He stated, 'Kamal Haasan has abused me in his article, and this has deeply hurt me. I've been unable to do my job ever since I read the piece. I don't understand why he has to write about a film that was released long ago.' Srinivasan wrote an article titled 'Living in past glory', his rejoinder to Haasan's article, in which he accused Haasan of 'distorting the facts for reasons best known to him, and undermining the contributions made by everyone.' He did, however, conclude by writing that he was not against Haasan taking credit for the film's success, as long as it was not at his expense. See also.
