  • The movie featured music by the duo Viswanathan–Ramamoorthy, who were the top composers in Tamil cinema at the time.
  • Actress Jayalalithaa had a brief but impactful role, appearing in a song sequence that became popular.
  • The climax was shot in a studio with elaborate sets to create a dramatic confrontation scene.
