One day, Nandu's character, a boy on the run for no fault of his own hides in the back of Smitha's car, but is caught, but let off.

After watching Summer of '42 (1971) in Casino theatre, Madras (now Chennai), a part of the film struck him and he developed it into a script.

He first contacted Sundarlal Nahatha of Melody Creations, who had previously produced his debut directorial, Onninu Purake Mattonnu.

Thulasidas was a family friend and neighbor of drama actors Chavara V. P. Nair and Vijayalakshmi and used to frequently visit them.

Silk Smitha's remarkably self-possessed performance shows us both her outer sexual confidence and her inner anxiety over being lonely.

Onmanorama wrote in April 2016 that "some reports suggest that he went into depression after acting in a soft-porn movie (Layanam) and became a drug addict".

Silk Smitha, known for her bold roles and alcoholism, also committed suicide, declaring a failed love affair to be the reason.
