AVM decided to remake the Malayalam film Kunjikoonan and bought the remake rights after being impressed with it. Sasi Shankar, who made the Malayalam original, was chosen to direct the remake too. Unlike the Malayalam original, where two female characters were played by two different actresses, Jyothika enacted both the roles for the Tamil remake. The film was launched on 26 January 2004. This was the 166th film produced by AVM.
