Trivia
- The film's title 'Aranmanai' refers to a traditional Tamil mansion, often with a central courtyard, which is central to the story's setting.
- Director Sundar C initially planned to make a different film but switched to this horror-comedy after its script was ready quickly.
- This movie marked the first collaboration between actor Sundar C and actress Trisha Krishnan in a lead role.
- The comedy track featuring actors Santhanam and Kovai Sarala was largely improvised during the shoot.
- It was shot primarily at a real heritage mansion in Karaikudi to get an authentic 'aranmanai' look.
- The film was a major box office hit, reviving the horror-comedy genre in Tamil cinema at the time.
- A real-life incident about a haunted palace in the director's hometown partly inspired the story.
