Interesting facts

Nambiar, Manohar, Nagesh, S. V. Ramadas, Vijayalakshmi and Madhavi in supporting roles. It revolves around a doctor who is sold into slavery for rebelling against the dictator of his nation, and later forced into a life of piracy.

Production

After producing and directing films like Veerapandiya Kattabomman (1959), Kappalottiya Thamizhan (1961) and Karnan (1964), B. R. Panthulu was in debt since they did not perform well commercially or recover their costs. He later approached M. G. Ramachandran and sought his help to recover from those losses. Panthulu was adamant that Ramachandran act in his film or he would shelve it as he considered the storyline tailormade for him.
