Production

It just so happened that I was reading [The Bourne Identity] at that time and it seemed terrific. It was basically Kalidasa's Shakuntala with lot more action.

The film is Prathap K. Pothen's fifth directorial and third in Tamil after Meendum Oru Kaathal Kathai and Jeeva and was loosely inspired by the novel The Bourne Identity, written by Robert Ludlum in 1980. Bollywood actor Salim Ghouse made his Tamil debut with this film, portraying the antagonist. Prabhu's character was not present in the novel, and was created for the film.
