Cast

Production

Thangai was Sivaji Ganesan's first film under A. C. Tirulokchandar's direction.[4] He was initially reluctant to accept the film due it being in the action genre and he was then known mainly for his dramatic films, but after producer Balaji assured him it would reinvent his image, he relented.[5] The dialogues were written by Aaroor Dass.[6]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, with lyrics by Kannadasan.[7] When Viswanathan composed five tunes, Tirulokchandar and Balaji liked all the tunes; however they were challenged to choose only one tune for which they called a postman asking him to choose a tune which eventually became "Kettavarellam Paadalam".[8]
