The film was shot at Thiruchopuram in Cuddalore, and AVM Studios in Madras. Sivaji Ganesan appeared in several costumes throughout the film, as did Jayalalithaa, who designed her own costumes. Like a previous Ganesan film, Sivandha Mann, it revolved around the protagonist rebelling against a tyrant ruler. The film was colourised via Eastmancolor.Soundtrack
The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, with lyrics by Kannadasan. An assistant director suggested the director not to use the lyric "Thangai" for a song in Avandhan Manidhan since "Thangaiyila Illai" was the pallavi for a song in this film. The song "Palli Araikkul Vantha" attained popularity.| Song | Singers |
