Following the financial failure of some of his "award winning" films, Bharathiraja said he was forced to make the more populist Kodi Parakkuthu to compensate his losses. Manivannan portrayed the film's antagonist, and his voice was dubbed by Bharathiraja.Soundtrack
The music was composed by Hamsalekha. The song "Selai Kattum" is set in the Carnatic raga Shree. The song "Oh Kadhal Ennai" was reused from the song "O Meghave" with a tune in between taken from another song "Mussanjeli Nammuralli" - both from Hamsalekha's earlier Kannada film Ranaranga, which was released the same year.| Title | Singer | Lyrics | Length |
