Padma Vasanthi had originally been signed to play one of the roles and even learnt roller skating for the same.[citation needed] After Kanagal's death, the same role was enacted by Vijayalakshmi Singh and a bicycle replaced the roller skates. Chandrika who would become a lead actress in the 90s plays a small role in the movie under her real name Sribharathi.[citation needed]
