Production

Initially M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar was to play the lead role. After a few shots were taken with director Raja Chandrasekhar, Bhagavathar was arrested as a suspect in the Lakshmikanthan murder case. He was replaced with Bangalore-based Honnappa Bhagavathar. Raja Chandrasekhar walked out not willing to work with the newcomer. Producer M. Somasundaram directed the film along with V. S. Narayanan (who is the husband of Bhanumathi's sister).

MGR was cast in the role of Lord Shiva. He performed the Shiva Thandavam dance with Telugu actress K. Malathi. The dance was a highlight of the film and MGR worked hard and performed well. His performance impressed all and this laid the foundation for him to play as hero in Jupiter's next film Rajakumari.
