Production

The film was directed by S. P. Muthuraman, written by Mahendran and produced by M. Santhinarayanan, who began life as a costume-maker before rising to become a film producer. The song "Uravo Pudumai", picturised on Kamal Haasan and Sangeeta, was filmed on the area of Kundrathur and Thiruneermalai near Chennai.[2] During a fight scene on Mount Road, Kamal Haasan was injured on set. Haasan fixed his shoulder dislocation with a turkey towel and an iron rod on the sets. He returned to the shot after taking just a 10-minute break.[3] The film is noted for Rajinikanth's famous phrase "Idhu thaan Rajini style" (This is Rajini Style), which he says several times throughout the film.[1] This film was shot in black-and-white.
