During an impromptu discussion, K. Rajeswar had narrated the story of two convent students coming of age to Gangai Amaran. Moved by the tale, Gangai Amaran gave the directorial opportunity to directors P Vasu and Santhana Bharathi at the helm.[2] P. Vasu, son of make up man Peethambaram and Santhanabharathi, son of producer M. R. Santhanam, both assisted C. V. Sridhar earlier made their directorial debuts with this film.[3][4]

A photographer friend of Suresh's dad opined that Suresh could make it as a lead actor and with a portfolio, Suresh approached director C. V. Sridhar to feature in his films, but his effort went in vain. He then met director duo Santhana Bharathi and P. Vasu who decided to cast him their venture, Panneer Pushpangal, while simultaneously he was cast in the lead role in Bharathiraja's Alaigal Oivathillai presenting him with a dilemma of which film to choose.[5] He chose the former, but both films went on to becoming large commercial successes during the period.
