Sandow M.M.A.Chinnappa Devar's main intention to produce this movie was to encourage MGR's recovery from the MGR's shooting incident, on 12 January 1967. Sandow M.M.A.Chinnappa Devar paid the advance for the movie at the hospital during his first visit to see MGR. When MGR recovered and after completing ARASA KATTALAI & KAAVALKAARAN he immediately started this project and completed it within months. Remember MGR's speech therapy (for the vocal cord damage) wasn't complete at the time.
