Production
Since the film is set in a single location, it was shot at Thiruvangur Palace at Courtallam for 50 days. This was Karvannan's final film as director before his death in 2015.

Soundtrack
The film score and the soundtrack were composed by Paanabhadran.

Reception
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "It's a knot with potential, ideal for a thriller. But director Karvannan, whose earlier films like Paalam, were on similar lines, lets go of the opportunity to exploit the subject this time".
