[[S. S. Vasan]] of [[Gemini Studios]] and Jupiter Pictures started producing the same story under different titles almost simultaneously.

Popular Carnatic musician and playback singer [[M. L. Vasanthakumari]] was cast initially to do the character of the second wife of Gora (PUC). She left the film for undisclosed reasons after a few reels were shot. She was replaced by Mangalam of the famous Yogam-Mangalam dance duo. Likewise, A. S. A. Sami who was directing the film, was replaced by Sundar Rao Nadkarni. [[P. U. Chinnappa]] who played the male lead role, died at a young age, before the film was released.<ref name="hindu" />
