Cast

Production

Director Bharathi Kannan had initially cast Khushbu in the lead role during mid-2004. The actress however was busy with film production work for Avni Cinemax as they were making Giri (2004), and had been slow to lose weight to play the character. As a result, Roja was drafted in to replace Khushbu in the lead role.[3] Khushbu still remained hopeful of being reinstated in the role and hired karakattam dancers from Pudukottai to assist her with preparation, though Roja was finalised.[4][5]

Impressed by the plot, actress Vilasini — who had earlier appeared in films such as Nalla Manasukkaran (1997) and Andipatti Arasampatti (2002) — agreed to jointly produce the film. It was the first film for Vilasini following her return from a spell in prison.[6][7] Vilasini produced the film alongside London Shoban of Shrinidhi Theatres, who brought in several actors who had appeared in roles in the unrelated Karakattakkaran (1989), which had a similar theme.[8]
