In the film, Halam can be seen playing the character of Madhu's lawfully-wedded wife, Rekha. Halam's Rekha is one of the main sources of conflict in the film, as one would expect from a film that deals with polygamy. A few minutes into the movie, the director establishes Rekha as a sweet and loving wife who is living a separate life of her own. Rekha's own personal discoveries independent of that of her husband's extramarital life are what drive the film forward after a point.

Jaya Prada as Kannagi:

Jaya Prada's character, Kannagi, is one of the driving forces of the film. Kannagi is one of the women with whom Kamal Haasan's character can be seen spending some time with during the runtime of the film. The words uttered by Jaya Prada's Kannagi, in their own way, cause Haasan's Madhu to have an epiphany of sorts.

Y. Vijaya as Bargavi

Veteran dancer Y. Vijaya can be seen playing the character of Bargavi. In the film, the story of Bargavi and Madhu begins with one accidentally calling the other. That call, shortly after, makes both of them aware of a spark between them, which leads to a blossoming of a relationship between the two. Y. Vijaya Bargavi is a major source of hilarity in  K. Balachander's Directorial venture.
