Trivia

  • 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.
