Production

The film is based on a play of the same name by C. N. Annadurai. He had written screenplay and dialogues for films earlier and was credited as Annadurai. But, for the first time, in this film he was credited as Arignar Anna. The song "Aagum Neriyedhu" was originally written as "Asthigam Edhu, Naasthigam Edhu". It was recorded and released in records as such. When the film went to the censor board, they objected to these lines.
