It revolves around a villager who is tasked with locating his urbanite cousin and marrying her, with the intention of reuniting their separated family. Singaravelan was produced by R. D. Bhaskar under the production company Pavalar Creations. The film's soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. Abdul Rahman handled cinematography, while B. Lenin and V. T. Vijayan handled editing respectively. Singaravelan was released on 13 April 1992 and became a hit at the box office.
