Plot[edit]

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Thangai was Sivaji Ganesan's first film under A. C. Tirulokchandar's direction.[3] He was initially reluctant to accept the film due it being in the action genre and he was then known mainly for his dramatic films, but after producer Balaji assured him it would reinvent his image, he relented.[4] The dialogues were written by Aaroor Dass.[5]

Soundtrack[edit]

The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, with lyrics by Kannadasan.[6]
