Trivia

  • The film was inspired by the 1962 Hollywood thriller 'Experiment in Terror', which also features a mysterious killer with a distinctive breathing sound.
  • This was the first Tamil film to be shot extensively at the Madras Christian College campus, giving it a fresh youthful backdrop.
  • Composer M. S. Viswanathan recorded the song 'Kadavul Ullam' in a single take with singer P. Susheela, as her voice perfectly captured the required melancholic mood.
  • Actor Ravichandran, who played the male lead, was primarily a Kannada star and this role helped increase his popularity in Tamil Nadu.
  • The film's suspenseful background score heavily used a harmonium to create a haunting effect for the masked villain's scenes.
  • Director A. C. Tirulokchandar initially wanted a different actress for the lead but was persuaded by the producer to cast Kanchana, who was then a rising star.
  • The movie's success led to a trend of 'college mystery' thrillers in Tamil cinema during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
