Cast

Background

Actor Vijayakumar decided to produce a film with Rajinikanth as the lead actor. Rajinikanth suggested Mahendran be the director.[1] The film was an extended version of Munithayi, the third segment of the 1975 Kannada anthology film Katha Sangama by Puttanna Kanagal. Rajinikanth who played the antagonist role in the original played the hero in the remake.[1] Mahendran wrote the screenplay with slight changes in the script. Mahendran's routine crew Ilaiyaraaja, Ashok Kumar and the editing duo B. Lenin – V. T. Vijayan were recruited for the film. In a later interview with Maalai Malar, Vijayakumar mentioned that he was not satisfied with the climax of the film, as he felt the fans would not accept Rajinikanth's lead pair getting raped. However, Mahendran was reluctant to change the climax that the original film had.[2]

Release

The film was released on 15 June 1984.[1]

Soundtrack

The film's soundtrack and background score was composed by Ilaiyaraja while lyrics were written by Vaali, Pulamaipithan, Na. Kamarasan and Gangai Amaran.[1][3]
