Production
The film was produced by Gubbi Veeranna , C. R. Basavaraj, both from the Kannada cinema and Manneth David from Kerala alongside AVM Productions. The story of the film was written by Krishnamurthi Puranic, a Kannada writer. The film was made both in Kannada and Tamil. Murasoli Maran wrote the screenplay and dialogues for the Tamil version. The production was financed by A. V. Meiyappan.[2]
Maran initially refused to write dialogues for the film after coming to know that Rajasulochana was the lead actress of the film who refused acting in his home production Kuravanji. Krishnan (of Krishnan–Panju) spoke to M. Karunanidhi who insisted Maran to write dialogues to which he agreed. After completing the film, Meiyappan found the film lacked an ingredient that would ensure box office success.[3] The milkman character played by J. P. Chandrababu was included on his recommendation as an afterthought.[1][4]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by R. Sudarsanam and the lyrics were penned by Kannadasan.[5]
