Trivia

  • This was one of the few films where Balu Mahendra did not handle the cinematography himself; it was shot by B. Kannan.
  • Actress Rohini, who played Shenbagam, was also a noted dancer and choreographer in the Tamil industry.
  • The film's music director Ilaiyaraaja reused the tune of the song 'Vanna Vanna Pookkal' from his earlier 1991 film 'Chinna Thambi'.
  • The story is set in the quiet, rural backdrop of Theni district, a location Balu Mahendra frequently used for its natural beauty.
