Trivia
- This was the first Tamil film to be directed by R. Thyagarajan, who was previously known as a producer.
- The film's music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, but it did not produce any major hit songs.
- It is one of the few Tamil films from that era to directly center its entire plot on the conflict between snake worship and snake fear.
- The movie was not a major commercial success, which led the director to return to focusing on production work.
- Actress Lakshmi, who played Parvathi, was already a well-known star, but this role did not significantly advance her career.
- The film's title translates to 'Friday Fasting,' a practice associated with worshipping snake deities in South Indian tradition.
- Scenes involving snakes were reportedly filmed with extreme caution, using trained handlers to ensure actor safety.
