Production
Director Bharathi Kannan had initially cast Khushbu in the lead role during mid-2004. The actress however was busy with film production work for Avni Cinemax as they were making 'Giri' (2004), and had been slow to lose weight to play the character. As a result, Roja was drafted in to replace Khushbu in the lead role. Khushbu still remained hopeful of being reinstated in the role and hired karakattam dancers from Pudukottai to assist her with preparation, though Roja was finalised.
Impressed by the plot, actress Vilasini who had earlier appeared in films such as 'Nalla Manasukkaran' (1997) and 'Andipatti Arasampatti' (2002) agreed to jointly produce the film. It was the first film for Vilasini following her return from a spell in prison. Vilasini produced the film alongside London Shoban of Shrinidhi Theatres, who brought in several actors who had appeared in roles in the unrelated 'Karakattakkaran' (1989), which had a similar theme.
Soundtrack
The film score and the soundtrack were composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The soundtrack features 7 tracks.
