Production
Lavanya Tripathi played the female lead.[3] She said "Santhanam is also part of the cast; so it won’t be a serious film like the previous Sasikumar starrers".[4] Soori was also part of the cast, who was earlier wrongly reported to have replaced Santhanam in the film.[5] It was reported that Yuvan Shankar Raja would compose the music,[1][6][7] but Devi Sri Prasad was signed as the music director. Naveen Chandra stated that he played the second lead as the friend of Sasikumar in the film.[8]
The shooting happened mostly in Coimbatore.[2][5] It also took place at Bharathiar University in April 2013.[1] In October, the team consisting of director Socrates, M. Sasikumar, Lavanya, choreographer Raju Sundaram along with a 40-member crew flew to Venice and other parts of Italy and Switzerland to shoot a couple of songs, which is a first time for a Sasikumar film to be shot outside India.[9] Padmapriya danced for an item song in the film.[10]

Critical reception
Baradwaj Rangan wrote, "With someone else at its centre, we might have said that Bramman is just about watchable, but with Sasikumar, we begin to wonder if Subramaniyapuram was a one-off".[11] Behindwoods gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Bramman turns out to be a good tale by Socrates, that might have lacked a little vigour in the screenplay".[12] Sify called Bramman a "passable commercial entertainer with all essential ingredients that will keep the pot boiling".[13]
