Production

Most of the early films in Tamil were reproduction of stage dramas. Some films even opened with a screen going up. The stage dramas usually had a main title and an alternate title. Thus this film also had two titles.[5]

A comedy short film titled Aakaasa Vaani featuring N. S. Krishnan and T. A. Mathuram was included in the film.[2]

Soundtrack

Music was composed by T. K. Jeyarama Iyer while the lyrics were penned by Papanasam Sivan and P. R. Rajagopala Iyer.[4] M. R. Krishnamoorthy and K. Thavamani Devi sang most of the songs.

gollark: I looked at its (Go - ew) code and am not sure exactly why its works and mine doesn't.

gollark: Hmm, this page says that the code hasn't been tested and also has no information for IPv6.
