Kuselan produced by K Balachander's Kavithalaya and Seven Arts, turned out to be a quickie. Rajnikanth plays the role of a superstar played by Mammootty in the original while Pasupathy plays Sreenivasan's role of the barber. Meena who played barber Balan's wife in the original repeats her act in the Tamil as well as Telugu version too. Except for Rajnikanth, Meena and Nayanthara, all the artistes are different for Tamil and Telugu version. Nayanthara who shot to fame when she was signed to act as Rajnikanth's heroine in Chandramukhi, the Tamil remake of Manichitrathazhu, once again plays the superstar's heroine in Kuselan. Mohanlal also did not have a heroine in Manichitrathazhu. The other major highlight of the film is G V Prakash's musical score. He has come up with five songs which are foot-tapping and pacy. A song celebrating the 75th year of Tamil cinema penned by Valee would make it big, opines Vasu..

When it takes a year or two for a Shankar to finish a Rajni film, P Vasu finished the shooting of Kuselan in record 82 days. "It is a record of sorts. I was simultaneously shooting both the Tamil and Telugu versions. We had planned the shooting in such a way that each scene from both the languages were shot back to back. The scenes and the sets were the same, only the artists were different," a proud P Vasu told the press. According to the director, 80-85 per cent of the film was shot inside the Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad as shooting a film starring Rajnikanth in real locations is extremely difficult.
