Production
[edit]The film marked Muktha Srinivasan's 50th year in the film industry. Though Vikram's big budget film, Ullaasam (1997), became a box office failure, the producers still offered him the chance to star in a new project, although they felt that he could not carry a film on his own. Newcomer Sriram, who was a medical student, was subsequently added to the cast.[3]
Soundtrack
[edit]Music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. All the songs from the Kannada film were retained, which had also been composed by Ilaiyaraaja.[4][5]
