During the production of the Rajinikanth-starrer Sivaji: The Boss, an animated film with Rajinikanth as the animated character was under discussion. Several media claimed that the actor would star in animated television advertisements about HIV and AIDs in India. Later in 2007, it was reported that his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth would direct her maiden venture with her father in the lead, also stating that it would be an animated film. Her fame rose from working in S. J. Suryah's Anbe Aaruyire in 2004 as a computer graphic specialist. When Sivaji: The Boss made its theatrical release, previews of Sultan The Warrior were shown with an animated Rajinikanth dressed in a medival attire, also stating that it would be released in 2010.
In late 2007, Soundarya Rajinikanth had traveled to Brazil for working on the animation of the film. The next year, it was reported that her home production company, Ocher Studios, had joined hands with Warner Bros. Entertainments, thus, Warner Bros. would distribute Sultan The Warrior, once it was released. Animation of the film is to be done by a Chennai-based animation studio, along with international specialists. The soundtrack for the film is being composed by 2-Academy Awards-winner A.R.Rahman.
The team was in search of a voice artist for the female lead. Initial speculations were that Ileana D'Cruz would take over the role, but later reports suggested that Vijayalakshmi Agathiyan, who debuted in Chennai 600028, would handle the female voice actor. The film was later reported to feature the animation of actor Rahul Dev as an antagonist.
Reliance MediaWorks Limited sought to pull back its backing of Sultan, by taking Ocher Studio to the Madras High Court, which in turn ordered the Studio to return the Rs. 11.59 crore it borrowed from the Reliance arm. Tamil Nadu's AG P S Raman has intervened on behalf of Ocher Studio to settle the financial terms amicably.
