Plot

Cast

Production

Srividya, who went on to become a popular actress made her debut in this film. Her name was shown as Vidhya Moorthy in the introductory credits.[7] Sivaji Ganesan's performance as Appar was inspired by Kanchi Paramacharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham.[8][9]

Soundtrack

The soundtracks were composed by K. V. Mahadevan and lyrics were by Kannadasan.[10] The song "Nadarmudi" is based on Punnagavarali raga.[11] The song "Mannavan Vanthanadi" is based on Kalyani raga.[12][13] P. Susheela who sang the song recalled that she was initially nervous to sing this song because of Sivaji Ganesan's presence at the studio. Noticing it, Ganesan walked out of the studio and Susheela recorded the song.[14]
