[2] The film began production in 1969, and was almost completed but halted due to the producer M. A. Rahman's financial troubles.

A few years later, when production resumed, lead actor Ravichandran's market was declining and Vijayakumari was by now only playing character roles.

Whereas Muthuraman's role was originally secondary, it was decided to shift the focus to him, and Rajasree market had declined.

Rahman met Muktha Srinivasan for help, who called the film's music composer M. S. Viswanathan.

Viswanathan composed a tune and asked the film's lyricist Kannadasan to write lyrics.
