The film's script was written by C. N. Annadurai (later chief minister of Tamil Nadu).

Nallathambi (NSK) a simple rural man inherits an estate from his deceased Zamindar relative.

He convinced Annadurai to watch the movie and adapt the film to a Tamil rural setting.

The script was further changed to include a number of musical skits to bring out the social satire of NSK.

C. R. Subburaman composed the music, while Udumalai Narayana Kavi wrote the lyrics for the songs.

To offset the financial loss of his backers, NSK announced a new film project titled Thambithurai to be written by Annadurai.

However furious with the changes made to his Nallathambi script, Annadurai refused to work with NSK again.
