Production
After the success of Thalaivasal, Selva began a love story featuring newcomers. The producers were unhappy with the work of the newcomers and they soon approached Ajith Kumar to play the lead role after singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam had recommended him, after seeing parts of Prema Pusthakam. The original lead actor was later demoted to play Ajith Kumar's friend in the film.[3] Ajith Kumar made his debut and signed this project on 03 Aug 1992. Similarly, the lead actress Sanghavi was just 16 when the film started production.[4] As the film went into post production, Ajith was bed-ridden due to a racing injury and remained in treatment for twenty months.[5] Subsequently, another actor Vikram had to dub scenes for Ajith.[6][7]
