Cast
Production Selvam was directed by K. S. Gopalakrishnan, who wrote the screenplay from a story by B. S. Ramiah. The film was produced by actor V. K. Ramasamy, who did not feature. It was lighter than the melodramatic films Sivaji Ganesan was previously known for starring in. The film ridicules horoscopes, astrology and superstition.
Soundtrack The music was composed by K. V. Mahadevan.
