Sharing the genre of the film, the actress said that the anthology is s a black comedy. The idea behind the concept is to humanise the characters so that people can relate to the story. Paava Kadhaigal will deal with stories relating to honour, pride, sin, and love. The anthology explores how love, pride, and honour influence complex relationships through four intricate and beautiful stories. Produced by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP Movies and Ashi Dua Sara’s Flying Unicorn Entertainment. 

 Earlier director Vignesh Shivan said in an official statement,

"I’ve always been a huge fan of Netflix and its storytelling. As a filmmaker, being able to tell your story to a diverse audience, alongside three respected directors who believe in your story as much as you do, is an incredible opportunity. This film explores the dark, often agonizing side of human relationships, tabling thoughts many have but are afraid to vocalize.”

According to Hindustan Times, Gautham Menon said that Paava Kathaigai is his first collaboration with Sudha, Vetri, and Vignesh. He continued that it is a great opportunity for him as he can explore a complex and difficult theme in an authentic and honest manner alongside talented directors.
