The film was shot entirely in Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia, since the entire story plays there. Leena, who plays the female lead, is a Malaysia-born Tamilian, who was seen by J. Suresh in Malaysia and eventually given the role of the heroine, Indira. She was brought into the cast after the original choice, Tejashree, had walked out.[2]
The soundtrack as well as the film score were composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who teamed up with director J. Suresh for the second time after Velai. The soundtrack, which was released on 13 March 2002, features 5 tracks, whilst the lyrics were written by Pa. Vijay and V. Ilango.
Chennai Online wrote "The director’s style is simple, the narration moves at a steady pace, the tale being told without melodrama. The director could have got a firmer grip on the script towards the latter half".[3]Sify wrote "The director himself has no clue about the story. Absurd and haphazardly shot Junior Senior is one of the most insufferable movies in recent times and one wonders what made Mammootty, a great actor do this film!".[4]The Hindu wrote ""Junior Senior" lacks cohesion completely with the link missing in most of the scenes. The director, obviously expects the viewer to make his inferences".[5]
