It marked Jayalalithaa's Indian film debut, having previously worked in an English film Epistle (1961). Her moonlight performance for one of the song sequence became a sensation of today's times. As it was Jayalalithaa's mother who accompanied the daughter for every rehearsal.[3] While Sarot Ashwath wrote the dialogues, T. N. Balakrishna was specially credited for comedy dialogues. Mahalinga Bhagavathar played a small role in the movie.[4]
