Tabu was initially chosen as lead actress during the film's launch; however she was later replaced by newcomer Eva Grover.[4] She was rechristened Anjali for the film.[5] The film's first day shoot was held at AVM Studios and the distribution rights were sold on that day itself.[6]
Soundtrack
The songs were composed by Ilaiyaraaja, with lyrics written by Vaali.[7][8] Due to differences of opinion between Ilaiyaraaja and producer Subramaniam over the audio rights, Deva composed the background score instead.[6][9]
