- The film was shot in just 45 days, a very fast schedule for a major Tamil production at the time.
- Suriya and Jyothika, who play dual roles, were a real-life couple who married the same year the film released.
- Director Sasi Shankar initially planned to cast a different actor for the constable role before finalizing Suriya for both parts.
- The movie's climax was partly filmed at the then-new Chennai Central railway station's modern annex.
- It was one of the early Tamil films to prominently feature a public phone booth as a key setting for the protagonist's job.
- The blind street dancer character was inspired by a real visually impaired performer the director observed in Chennai.
- Despite mixed reviews, the film was a commercial success, especially in rural Tamil Nadu.
