Production

The 1964 American film The Brass Bottle was a worldwide success, especially in Madras (now Chennai). Javar Seetharaman rewrote the film as Pattanathil Bootham, and starred as the genie, reprising the role originally played by Burl Ives. Director M. V. Raman called Pattanathil Bhootham "a much improved version" of the American film. The film also took inspiration from the folktale of Aladdin.
