The song was later remixed by Srikanth Deva in Pandi (2008). Ilayaraja reused "Maasimaasam" as "Enno Rathri" in Telugu film Dharmakshetram (1992). Gangai Amaran wrote only one song, Aanenna pennena. The soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja while the lyrics for all the songs were written by Panchu Arunachalam. To avoid betraying audiences, Rajinikanth worked continuously for 72 hours to ensure the film was completed and released per schedule. The film was already scheduled to release on Pongal 1991, but production was disrupted due to certain circumstances. It was decided to remake the 1989 Kannada film Deva, and the project was titled Dharma Durai. After some progress, the project and story were dropped. The director Rajasekhar initially started a film titled Kaalam Maaripochu with Rajinikanth, Manjula, Ramesh Aravind and Senthil among others.
