  • The film's climax scene was shot over 15 nights to capture the specific moonlight of the 'Chitra Pournami' full moon.
  • Actor Sivakumar performed his own stunts for the fight sequences, which was uncommon for leading stars at the time.
  • The movie's soundtrack by M.S. Viswanathan includes a rare 'ghost song' sequence, a genre not typical in Tamil films of that era.
  • A subplot involving a traditional temple chariot was inspired by real annual festivals in Tamil Nadu's temple towns.
