Inimai Idho Idho marked the directorial debut of Ramalingam who earlier assisted A. C. Tirulokchandar. He initially wanted to name the film as Vaanam Paartha Bhoomi (transl. The Earth that saw the sky); since many considered it as anti-sentimental, he named it Inimai Idho Idho and admitted the title did not suit the plot.
