The lead actors Gemini Ganesan and Savithri were married when this film was made. They kept it a secret though owing to the fact that the former was already married and had kids. In the movie though, the plot calls for them to act as a married couple to secure jobs. In effect, they were posing as a married couple in the movie when they weren't and posing as unmarried in real life when they were.
The script was adapted by Chakrapani from the Bengali novel Manmoyee Girls School by Rabindranath Maitra.
