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.
