Production

The film's title is derived from a song from Thiruvarutchelvar (1967), continuing director Madhavan's penchant for naming his films after songs.[3] During the filming of a scene where Nambiar's character calls for his henchmen to tie up Nagesh's character, the actor improvised and called for "Madhava" and "Balamuruga", adapting the names of Madhavan and the writer Balamurugan. When Nambiar offered to reshoot the scene speaking the originally scripted names, Madhavan refused and decided the new names also be recorded during dubbing.[2][4]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan.[5][6]
