Suresh Kumar's wife and actress Menaka was decided in the role of Savithri and had 20 days work charted, but she opted out due to difficulty in managing her baby daughter (Revathy) and work at the same time. Later, Shanthi Krishna was cast in the role.[4]

The songs "Mindaathathenthe" and "Kasthoori Ente Kasthoori" is quite popular still today among Kerala audiences.
