The filming was completely held at Kodaikanal and was also held at Thekkady, Kerala for 20 days. Rajendran wanted two horses for an important scene however after he found one of the two horses to be skinny and rides only in reverse he decided not to change the horse as it would become difficult to obtain the call sheets of Ganesan so he shot the scene with Nagesh riding in skinny horse and Ganesan riding a much healthier horse converting into a humorous scene.Soundtrack
