Trivia
- The film's title was inspired by a popular 1960s Tamil song of the same name, not originally written for this movie.
- It was one of the few films where actor Ravichandran, known for his Kannada work, played a lead role in Tamil cinema.
- The hill station filming locations were primarily in Ooty, a common choice, but specific estate scenes used a rarely filmed private bungalow.
- A real, unexpected rainstorm during the shoot was incorporated into the film, adding to the authentic look of the landslide sequence.
- The movie's soundtrack by M. S. Viswanathan reused a musical motif from one of his earlier hit scores for a different composer's film.
- Actress Jayalalithaa was initially considered for the lead role, but prior commitments led to the casting of Sumathi.
- Despite its drama focus, the film included a comic subplot with Manorama that was partly improvised during filming.
