 Savi , an editor who worked for the Tamil magazine , Ananda Vikatan , accompanied the production unit and published an article on the making of the film . Although the story is set in Shimla , most of the film was shot in Ooty . Shooting in Shimla took place for only five days . " Naan <unk> " was one of the few songs in the film that was shot outdoors , due to Ramachandran not wanting to attract attention from his large fan following . During shooting in Ooty , Ramachandran personally bought sweaters for the entire cast and crew . The Government Botanical Gardens in Ooty were also used as a shooting location .
