Production
Agam Puram began production at the end of January 2008 with Keerath playing the female lead oppostie Shaam with M. Gopalakrishnan financing the film.[6] The film was titled Agam Puram due to the director's passions for literature and also due to the fact that "Agam Puram" means "two-sided", which relates to Shaam's double sided character.[3] Shaam became the film's producer in 2010 after M. Gopalakrishnan left the film.[7] However, Thirumalai, the film's director, produced the film under his banner T Creations. Shaam worked out to prepare for his role.[8]
