Production

The film was produced by M. A. Venu under the banner Muthiah Pictures. By the year 1959, M. K. T. Bhagavathar requested M. A. Venu to produce a film. M. A. Venu agreed and started producing this film. However, M. K. T. Bhagavathar died while the production was half way. So, the crew adapted the story and completed the film. Bhagavathar could not sing at this time. He told the producer that he has some songs recorded earlier for another film Rajayogi that was never produced and told the producer to use those songs.[3] Bhagavathar wore sunglasses in many scenes due to his then fading eyesight.[4]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack album was composed by K. V. Mahadevan. Lyrics by Papanasam Sivan and Ka. Mu. Sheriff.[3]
