Several other prominent directors such as Siddique-Lal, Priyadarshan, and Sibi Malayil served as second-unit directors.The story is influenced from a tragedy that happened in Alummoottil Tharavadu, a famous central Travancore family, in the 19th century. The film won the National Film Award for best popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment and Shobhana was awarded the National Film Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of the central character Ganga.
