It was produced by Ravi Yadav's Yadavalaya Films, had music scored by Ilaiyaraaja and has the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi and the Sri Lankan Civil War as its backdrop. The film began production in 1991 and was completed by 1992, but remained stuck for fifteen years as the Censor Board refused to allow such a film with a drastic political message to be released; the film was finally released in March 2007 with several cuts.

Production

Production work for the film began in 1991 and it was announced that the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi and the Sri Lankan Civil War would be its backdrop. The film was launched in July 1991 and completed by mid-1992, with plans of a release in October 1992.

In December 2006, in a landmark judgement, the Madras High Court dismissed a petition filed on behalf of the Central Board of Censors against an earlier verdict by the court, allowing the screening of the film with an 'A' (adults only) certificate after certain cuts. The court subsequently directed the board to award an 'A' certificate to the film within four weeks of their judgement.
