Production

Sripriya saw the Hindi film Nagin (1976) with her mother and liked one of the film's songs, wishing for a potential film featuring her and a song set to the same tune. A week later, her mother bought the rights to remake Nagin in Tamil; the remake was titled Neeya?. Durai was approached to direct; though busy, he ultimately agreed.
