→Trivia
- This film was inspired by a real-life news story about a snake seeking revenge, which was popular in Tamil magazines at the time.
- Director Chozharaajan was primarily known as a film editor, and this is one of his few directorial works.
- The movie's special effects for the snake spirit were considered quite advanced for a low-budget Tamil film in 1990.
- Actress Radhika played the dual role of the possessed wife and the snake spirit, requiring distinct performance styles.
- The film's title references a classic Tamil film 'Manaivi Oru Manickam' from 1964, but the stories are completely different.
- It was shot quickly, reportedly in a single schedule, to capitalize on the horror-thriller trend of the era.
- The soundtrack by composer Shankar-Ganesh included a hit song 'Oru Kili Urugudhu' that gained popularity separate from the film.
