Production
Aalinganam was one of the earliest films where Sridevi played an adult, despite being 12 or 13 years old.[3]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by A. T. Ummer and the lyrics were written by Bichu Thirumala.[4] The song "Thushaarabindukkale" was written by Bichu Thirumala for his play Dandakaranyam, and included in Aalinganam because Sasi liked it; though Kannur Rajan composed that song, he was not credited for it.[5]
