==Trivia==
[[C. N. Annadurai]] had written screenplay and dialogues for films earlier and was credited as Annadurai. But, for the first time, in this film he was credited as ''Arignar Anna''. The song ''Aagum Neriyedhu'' was originally written as ''Asthigam Edhu, Naasthigam Edhu''. The song was so recorded and released in records. When the film went to the censor board, they objected to these lines. So the lyricist [[Udumalai Narayana Kavi]] altered it as ''Aagum Neri Edhu, Aagaa Neri Edhu''.<ref>{{cite book|title=Thiraikalanjiyam — Part 1|author=G.
