G.Venkateshwaran (G.V), who had produced such successful films like the
Maniratnam - directed ‘Mouna Raagam’, ‘Agni Natchatram’, ‘Thalapathi’,

their debuts with this film. They are Murughavel (brother of singer Anuradha
Sriram), Srinivas (singer), Ramesh Vinayakam (Jingle Composer), Aravind -

accommodate them all.” The

A scene was shot at the ‘Chitrakulam’ pond near Mylapore, Chennai. Shaam and
some stunt actors took part in the scene. A gang of rowdies tease the womenfolk
as they pass by them. The rowdies become bolder, and one of them even pulls a
girl by her hand. The girl, who had come to the shop to buy something, is taken
aback and looks around for help. Hari passing by, sees the girl's plight, goes
straight to the rowdies and asks them to let the girl go. The rowdies now start
taunting him, and a war of words result. In the skirmish that follows, Hari
bashes up a few, and chases
the others as they try to run away. Vikram Dharma coordinated the stunt
sequence, as Gopinath canned the shots, and Shaam & some fighters enacted
the scene. The film has editing by
V.T.Vijayan, art-work by Raghavan, and lyrics by Pazhanibharathi, Thamarai and
Pa.Vijay. The film’s audio cassette was released in a novel way with the music
composers being introduced on stage, and their respective compositions sung live
on the stage by the respective singers. Says Vasanth, “It’s a love story but
I have given it a unique treatment."
