Production

After the success of Jayaram and Rajasenan Ayalathe Adyeham (1992), they planned to do another family entertainer. Lyricist Gireesh Puthenchery told Jayaram a story about four bachelors with the youngest, the only one educated, in a Corleone-like family. Jayaram, who was highly inspired by this story, decided to produce it himself. The thread was developed by Puthenchery and introduced to Rajasenan.

The originally decided cast included Jayaram, along with Shobhana, Meena, Jagathy Sreekumar, Oduvil Unnikrishnan etc. Vijayaraghavan was later signed in to do the mostly serious character in the film. Narendra Prasad, who was typecast for villain roles, was selected later. Innocent was originally cast for the role by Janardhanan. He rejected the offer as he was busy with another film, Sakshal Sreeman Chathunni.

The film was initially set in Salem in the script and was to be shot there. However, a practical change was made to replace Salem with Pollachi, both in the script as well as the filming location.
