For the film, the team had erected a set resembling that of a mechanic garage near Madurai. The first shot was shot here and Bharathiraja has given the first clap for the scene.

Soundtrack

Soundtrack was composed by debutant Fen Viallee and all the lyrics written by Vairamuthu. Think Music India holds the audio rights of the film.
Behindwoods wrote "There is nothing in the film that makes it something unique to Madurai. Overall, you can say that Sooriyanagaram is a haphazard attempt at making a commercial movie." Indiaglitz wrote "On the whole, there is not much to write home about as far as 'Sooriya Nagaram' is concerned." The Hindu wrote "The story and the screenplay are to be largely blamed for the film's failure to strike a chord with the audience. The whole plot is stretched to such an extent that by the time the film ends, one feels drained and exhausted."
