Cameo Appearances

Production

In the 1940s, Ganesan portrayed the Maratha king Shivaji in the play Sivaji Kanda Hindu Rajyam, written by C. N. Annadurai and won the prefix "Sivaji" from E. V. Ramasamy. A portion from the play was used in the film. Producers thanked Annadurai's family for permitting them to use the episode in the film. Kannadasan wrote the dialogues for the portion.[5]

Themes

Film historian Mohan Raman notes that the film has many references to Ganesan's personal life. He considers the scene where Raman asks a character, "Arasiyal theriyadhavana naan?" (Am I someone who does not know about politics?) as an indirect response to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government which had questioned his political knowledge.[6]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan.[7]
