Curiosità

Production

Mahendran was approached by Devi Films to make a film for their company to which he agreed and he narrated a plot which impressed them and they decided to produce it. Once while staying in a Bombay hotel, Mahendran looked out of his window and saw a woman jogging. According to him, "Her concern was just fitness.

For the lead characters, Mahendran wanted to cast new actors, so he invited actors from various cities but none of them satisfied him. Suhasini, then a camera-assistant to Ashok Kumar, was spotted by Mahendran during the filming of his previous venture Uthiripookkal (1979). During the making of Uthiripookkal, Suhasini used to visit her father Charuhasan, who was a part of the film's cast.

Mahendran chose Mohan to play Ram after watching him in the Kannada film Kokila (1977). This was the first time Mohan played a major role in a Tamil film. Pratap Pothen was cast as the photographer Pratap, with the role being a departure from the psychotic/obsessive roles he was previously known for. The film was shot in Bangalore, mostly around Cubbon Park.
