R. R. Vasu, with Suruli Rajan, Sachu, Thengai Srinivasan, and Vijayachandrika in supporting roles. It was released on 11 December 1971.[3]
For one song sequence, Nagesh sported tiger makeup and clothing. The makers were not initially satisfied with how the sequence initially panned out, until Nagesh asked to do as per his own wish.[4]
Music was composed by Shankar–Ganesh and lyrics were written by Kumara Devan. The songs "Thenkinnam Thenkinnam" and "Utharavindri Ulley Vaa" attained popularity.[5]
