Production
Vikram was cast in the film while working on En Kadhal Kanmani (1990) after being tipped off about the opportunity by his father, Vinod Raj. Director C. V. Sridhar had wanted to cast a debutant actor, so Vikram kept his involvement in his earlier project a secret from the director, so Sridhar could cast him. It became Sridhar's final film before his death in 2008. In 2013, Vikram revealed that he chose to work on the film with Sridhar, despite the celebrated director's declining career, as it could have marked a comeback.[3]
Soundtrack
The film had six songs composed by Ilaiyaraaja.[4][5] The song "Mannavane" is set in the Carnatic raga Arabhi.[6][7]
