Production

The film is perhaps the first road movie in Malayalam.[1] A real life incident that occurred at Cherthala in Alappuzha district of Kerala inspired the modus operandi used to arrest the thief in the film. Major portions of the film were shot inside Kannur Deluxe, a KSRTC bus service between Trivandrum and Kannur that was started in 1967 and is still on.[3] The indoor portions were shot at Vahini, Arunachalam, and Newton Studios. I. V. Sasi worked as assistant director in the film.[1]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by V. Dakshinamoorthy and the lyrics were written by Sreekumaran Thampi.
