The second lead of female heroine was first offered to Hema Malini. This was supposed to be her Tamil debut film. But C.V.Sridhar then dropped her from the film saying she was too thin and selected Venniradai Nirmala for the second lead in the film.The main leading of the film remained J.Jayalalitha. This way both Jayalalitha and Vennairadai Nirmala made their film debut together in 1965 with this film.
