The crew had imported a Mumbai item girl named Maushmi Udeshi to shake her legs for the song. Suddenly when the crew was unaware, a man jumped out from the crowd, hugged Maushmi and kissed her. Shocked by this, the girl had thrashed the man furiously and made him unconscious. Awed by the actress wildness and the condition of the man, the crew had carried him to the hospital.
The shooting of this film commenced in Madurai and continued in Theni, Kambam, Kodaikanal and Thiruparakundram. The shooting took place for 60 days without a single day break. An enormous Karupanna Samy temple set was erected by art director Vasuki G P at the back of Thiruparakundram hills. A festival song sequence was shot in this set.
Soundtrack was composed by Sabesh-Murali.
Indiaglitz wrote that director is "only partially successful in striking a perfect balance. Despite being racy, the film somehow fails to work big time, thanks to predictable scenes, especially in the second half". Sify wrote "first half of the film moves at a rapid pace [sic] it is the predictable second half of the film which hampers the pace". Rediff wrote that "movie doesn't quite capitalise on strengths".
