Production
Latha, by committing herself to this film, was removed from her post as one of secretaries of AIADMK as the film violated atheism, the "cardinal Dravidian principle".[4] Vijayakumar, though also an AIADMK member and self proclaimed rationalist, also acted in the film.[5] The filming was held at Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia.[6]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, with lyrics by Kannadasan.[7][8]
