Production
Balachandra Menon had intially prevented Bhagyaraj from remaking the 1993 Malayalam original into a project titled Veetla Visheshanga, with the aim of making the film himself.[3]
Raveendran (Wig Maker Ravi) was an assistant to Sivaji Ganesan for long years and Sivaji decided to make Raveendran, a film producer and he asked Kamal Haasan to do the remake of this Malayalam film and Kamal obliged. Sivaji was interested to do the Police officer character as well, but his other film commitments did n't allowed that and he asked S. P. Balasubrahmanyam to take over that role. [4]
Unreleased
The film is yet to have a theatrical release as the makers abandoned the project due to creative differences even though the film was almost completed. [5] Later Balachandra Menon, in a turn of events, tried to make the same film with K. Bhagyaraj as Veetla Visheshanga, but that too didn't materialize and later Bhagyaraj made the film with a new story.
