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". Vijayakumar, though also an AIADMK member and self proclaimed rationalist, also acted in the film. The filming was held at Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia.

Soundtrack

The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, with lyrics by Kannadasan.
