Ajith Kumar's 60th film, Valimai (2022) under the direction of H. Vinoth and produced by Boney Kapoor, faced several production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.In March 2021, Kapoor hinted on collaborating for the actor's 61st film and Vinoth directing the film, which would mark their third consecutive collaboration following Nerkonda Paarvai (2019) and Valimai,which was later confirmed on September 2021. Sources reported that Kapoor suffered financial problems following the delayed production of Valimai, which resulted for a third collaboration between the actor and director, though he had denied such claims in an interview before Valimai's release. Initially, Ajith had planned for collaborating with a different director, but agreed to join with Vinoth after watching the rough edit of Valimai.
On 15 February 2022, the project was officially announced under the working title AK 61, and pre-production works for the film began the same time. Kapoor also shared a still featuring Ajith in a long beard with coolers in a monochrome format, which would be the looks for his film.As a part of the film's shoot, a huge set resembling Mount Road in Chennai, will be erected at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, where much of the film's shoot will take place.Vinoth had recruited cinematographer Nirav Shah and editor Vijay Velukutty, who worked on Valimai, while music director Ghibran and art director Milan, were signed for the film.Supreme Sundar was hired to choreograph the action sequences.The title Thunivu was officially announced on 21 September 2022 with a poster release.
Set to be a heist thriller, the film is loosely based on the 1987 Ludhiana bank heist where 15 Sikh men dressed as policemen armed with submachine guns and rifles had robbed nearly ₹60 million (equivalent to ₹640 million or US$8.0 million in 2020) from the Punjab National Bank, Miller Gunj branch, Ludhiana, which is being considered as the then India's largest bank robbery.Ajith's character is inspired from Labh Singh, a former police officer-turned-militant,who masterminded the robbery that enabled the Khalistan Commando Force to buy weapons.In December 2022, Vinoth revealed in an interview to The Times of India, saying that the film is not a heist thriller, but contains multiple genres that cannot be slotted under the particular genre.Vinoth he narrated a single scene, written for a planned a low-budget film, to Ajith; after he showed interest in joining, Vinoth agreed, thus the scale of the project increased.The scene is eventually the base of the film, as elaborating, "the film is about money. It is something that we use on a daily basis, but if someone asks us what money is, how currency operates and what reference money is, we’d hardly have an idea."He further recalled that Ajith does not play a dual role in the film, as what was speculated, and his character will be kept under wraps.
