Production

AVM Productions wanted to remake the Bengali film Shatru (1984) in Tamil and Telugu. However, the remake rights proved too expensive, so the idea was dropped. Instead, AVM borrowed two scenes from that film and created a new story, titled Sankar Guru in Tamil and Chinnari Devatha in Telugu. Both versions were filmed simultaneously. The film's story was credited to actor Sivachandran. The song "Kumbakonam" was shot at Mudumalai rivers.
