Cast

Production

One scene required Ganesan to throw a knife at Nambiar. He did so, but the director had not even called for "action" when Nambiar saw something come straight at him like a "bat out of hell". Nambiar had a split second to turn his head as the knife grazed his eye and impaled itself on the wall, leaving Nambiar with a permanent black spot on the eye. Ganesan had thrown the knife long before the shot was supposed to roll, only to impress two comely women who had walked on to the set.[4]
