Production

Ananthasayanam marked the acting debut of Krishnaswami Subrahmanyam, who also directed and produced the film under his own banner Madras United Artistes Corporation.[1] [3] The dialogues were written by both Subrahmanyam and S. A. Durai while Subrahmanyam himself handled the screenplay. The cinematography was done by Kamal Ghosh. Durai incorporated into the screenplay information and hymns on Anantha Padmanabhaswamy Palmyra leaf manuscripts that were preserved by the territory of Travancore.[1]

C. V. Ramakrishnan worked as an assistant cinematographer to Ghosh. G. Pattu Iyer, while playing a supporting role in the film, was an assistant director to Subrahmanyam along with K. J. Mahadevan. Principal photography for the film was done at Gemini Studios.[1]

V. S. Parthasarathy Iyengar composed the film's music and score while Papanasam Sivan and Rajagopal Iyer wrote the lyrics for the songs. According to film critic and historian Randor Guy, none of the songs became popular.[1]

Guy noted that the film was remembered for the "surprising on-screen appearance of the Indian film pioneer K. Subramanyam."[1] Ananthasayanam did not do well at the box office.[1]
