Production

After the average response to his previous film Avalukendru Or Manam (1971), Sridhar decided to make a Tamil-Telugu bilingual titled Thulasi (Шаблон:Translation) with A. V. M. Rajan starring in Tamil and Sobhan Babu in Telugu.[3] Sridhar developed a story from the Hindi film Aadmi (1939) and the American film Waterloo Bridge (1931), retaining only the basic premise.[4] However, after canning Шаблон:Convert, he decided to drop the film, uncertain whether the audience would accept a film with anti-sentimental elements. Sridhar restarted the same film with changes in the script and cast. The title was changed to Alaigal, with Kannada actor Vishnuvardhan in the lead which marked his debut in Tamil cinema.[4]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, while the lyrics were written by Kannadasan.[5]
