Initially, the producers, Kalaignanam and T. N. Venkatraman took recordings of earlier mridangam performances from both T. K. Murthy and Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman to decide which one would best suit the role played by Ganesan, leading to a huge conflict with two of the artists narrating each version of their story. However the producers insisted that originally, neither Murthy nor Sivaraman was booked for any particular role and that Murthy "was that he was agreeable to play only for Sivaji, and implicitly in the competition scene".[4]
