Production
The film was launched in early June 2014 as a collaboration between director Suraj and producers Lakshmi Movie Makers with
Trisha joined the cast in August 2014 to play the female lead, after the team opted against signing Kajal Aggarwal, who had asked for a high remuneration.[4][5] Catherine Tresa was also considered but not selected for the role.[6] Poorna does a cameo role in the film.[7] Vivek did a role in the film for which he shaved his head.[8] The film was initially titled Appatakkar, after a line popularised by Santhanam in Boss Engira Bhaskaran. In July 2015, the title of the film was changed to Sakalakala Vallavan after M. Saravanan, the producer of the 1982 film of the same name, gave the makers permission to re-use his film's title.[9]

Reception
The film was universally panned by critics.[10] Avinash Gopinath of Filmbeat.com rated 2 out of 5 stars and said "An Outdated Flick" [11] Rediff rated 1 out of 5 and said "The absurd script, inept execution, bizarre antics of the lead and supporting actors coupled with some ordinary music make director Suraj’s Sakalakala Vallavan Appatakkar a total bore".[12] Behindwoods rated 1 out of 5 and wrote that "Despite its intentions, this Sakalakalavallavan doesn't entertain".[13] Times of India rated 0.5 out of 5 and noted that "Sakalakala Vallavan is so abominable — a blot in the career of everyone involved in making it — that it makes us question its very existence and how it even came to be made".[14]
