Manivannan, Nagesh, Kalpana, Jai Ganesh, Chinni Jayanth, PC Ramakrishnan and Kavitha play supporting roles.

Abbas portrays the character of a rebellious college student named Kannan in the movie, while Simran takes on the role of his love interest, Nandhini.

Production

[edit | edit source]

The film went through development hell and took a long time to complete. The original producers, MG Pictures, later transferred it to Jayalakshmi Movie Makers owing to financial problems. It was the first film to cast Abbas and Simran together, though VIP (1997), launched much later with both of them, was released earlier.[3] Abbas and Simran simultaneously also worked on another Telugu project titled Priya O Priya during the making of Poochudava.[4]
