Production

Sridhar watched the American film David and Lisa (1962), which inspired him to make a film in Tamil with a similar theme portraying a mentally challenged woman, which became Vennira Aadai. Sridhar's usual cinematographer A. Vincent was unable to work on this film since he went on to become busy in Malayalam cinema; he was replaced by Balakrishna who earlier worked on the Hindi film Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje (1955).

The film marked the debut of Jayalalithaa in Tamil cinema. Sridhar, who was scouting for an actress with a teenage face with a modern look born and bred in the upper class to portray a young widow, found Jayalalithaa, daughter of actress Sandhya, at a swimming pool in Saidapet.

When Moorthy met his friend Chakravarthy, an associate of filmmaker Sridhar, and told him about his desire to act, Chakravarthy, who had previously seen Moorthy act on stage, told Sridhar about him, Moorthy eventually made his acting debut with this film portraying a comic role. Srikanth who earlier worked in American Consulate and was also a theatre artist made his film debut as lead actor.
