Production
The story written by G. Balasubramanium had been bought by film producer Noor wanting to make a film in Tamil based on the story and wanted Sivaji Ganesan to star in it. However, Ganesan was reluctant, after hearing the story, considering that the film had a tragic ending with the protagonist dying.[4] The story was then made in Kannada as Kasturi Nivasa with Dr. Rajkumar in lead role. After the film's success, Sivaji bought the remake rights for ₹ 2,00,000 to remake the film in Tamil.[5]
