Also starring Renuka, Shaji Chen, Aadukalam Naren, and Singampuli among others, Psycho was initially supposed to have Shanthnu Bhagyaraj in the lead role.During March 2018, Mysskin announced that he would make a film starring Shanthanu Bhagyaraj in the lead role. A mutual friend of Mysskin and Shanthanu, film producer Ravinder Chandrasekaran of Libra Productions, had first initiated the idea of casting the actor, and Mysskin and ace cinematographer P. C. Sreeram accepted his choice. Shanthanu expressed his delight at being cast, calling it a "new birth" for him as an actor and that it was "a sweet surprise" as he had been "struggling for a decade to get an identity". For his character in the film, he began growing a thick beard. The producers held discussions with Nithya Menen and Sai Pallavi to portray the lead actresses.
However, in a turn of events, Mysskin decided to cast Udhayanidhi Stalin in the lead role instead of Shanthanu, after Libra Productions left the project in July 2018. Under the banner of Arun Mozhi Manickam's Double Meaning Productions, Mysskin finalized a cast of Aditi Rao Hydari, Nithya Menen and Ram, while Ilaiyaraaja who worked on director's Nandalala and Onaayum Aattukkuttiyum was signed as the music composer. The shoot of the film began in early September 2018, with a first look promotional poster released later that month revealing the title of the project to be Psycho. A second schedule of the film was completed in early December 2018 after being shot in hill-towns across Tamil Nadu.
The teaser was released on 25 October 2019 by ace director Mani Ratnam. The 70 second teaser reveals that the film is a murder mystery and Udhayanidhi plays a blind man in the film.
The soundtrack of the film was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, collaborating with actor Udhayanidhi for the first time and director Mysskin for the third time.
