Production
When M. Saravanan of AVM Productions met Charuhasan, he asked about controlling budget in art films for which Charuhasan said the film costs can be recovered after selling rights for national television for which they provide ₹8 lakh (equivalent to ₹86 lakh or US$89,000 in 2026), which impressed Saravanan and he decided to make a "purposeful movie".
