Production
Kannada actor V. Ravichandran was renamed Rakesh to avoid confusion with the Tamil actor Ravichandran. The film is based on the novel Kakitha Changiligal by Sujatha. Panju Arunachalam had earlier bought the remake rights for the novel and started a film under the same name starring Suman and Ambika. However, the film got stuck midway in production.[1]
Soundtrack
The songs were composed by the music duo Shankar-Ganesh.[2]
