This is a historical film, but almost like a folklore film, produced by M. Somasundaram under the banner Jupiter Pictures. After the success of Velaikkaari, the producer encouraged A. S. A. Sami to bring out another film with a similar theme. Sami created the character of a young man with revolutionary ideas and the same hero K. R. Ramasamy was featured in the role.[2]
Music was composed by C. R. Subburaman and C. S. Jayaraman.[1] The film had 14 songs, some of them of Western style.[2] The dance song "Laalu Laalu" became popular.[2] As a boy, A. L. Raghavan was introduced by Jayaraman and sang in a girl's voice for Kumari Kamala in this film.[3]
