- This was one of the few Tamil films where actor Vijayakanth played a police officer who uses very violent methods outside the law.
- Director Shaji Kailas is known for his fast-paced 'thrillers' in Malayalam cinema, and this was one of his major directorial works in Tamil.
- The movie's plot, about a cop taking extreme measures, came out during a time when such 'vigilante' stories were popular in Indian cinema.
- A key action sequence was filmed at the Madras Central Railway station, a common location for many Tamil films of that era.
