Production
The film began production shortly after the success of director Kasthuri Raja and actor Dhanush's Thulluvadho Ilamai in 2002, but as Dhanush's Kaadhal Kondein (2003) became a major success, Dreams was stalled as he began signing numerous projects. When production resumed, Kasthuri Raja scrapped the earlier footage and started anew due to changes in Dhanush's appearance causing continuity issues.[2] Near the release in late 2004, Kasthuri Raja and the producer Srikanth were engaged in legal and financial issues.[3][4]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Bharadwaj, with lyrics by Kasthuri Raja.[5][6]
