Trivia:
Rajinikanth had misgivings whether the audience would accept him in such an emotional role as he had been an action-oriented entertainer till then. However, the box-office success of the film made him popular amongst women and is considered a turning point in his career.

Rajinikanth was cast in a melodramatic, sacrificial role in this movie because of the success of his previous movie, Bhuvana Oru Kelvikuri (1977).
