Kireedam is based on the landmark Malayalam film of the same name, directed by Sibi Malayil and written by Lohitadas. Though an offbeat subject, Kireedam ran successfully at the box office, and Mohanlal won his first national recognition for his scintillating performance in it.
Equally great were the performances of Thilakan as his father and Kaviyoor Ponnamma as his mother.
Ajith,Trisha,Raj Kiran and Saranya did the roles insted of Mohanlal,Parvathi,Thilakan and Kaviyoor Ponnamma.
Mohanlal's love interest was a school teacher (played by Parvathi, now wife of actor Jayaram), but in the Tamil version, Trisha is a student.
