Production
During the filming of a dance song sequence involving Sathyaraj and Silk Smitha, Sathyaraj accidentally stomped Smitha's leg, and Smitha refused to continue acting with him, but Rama Narayanan pacified her by saying Sathyaraj was not a trained dancer and promised not to let this happen again.[3] The film was originally titled Sattathai Vudaikkiren (transl. I am breaking the law), but was retitled Sattathai Thiruthungal after a request from the censor board.[1]
