→Trivia
- The film's director Ganeshaa is also a popular television host, known for shows like "Kalakka Povathu Yaaru?"
- Actor Santhanam, who plays the lead, was initially hesitant to take on the role as it was a full-length solo hero project for him.
- The movie's plot is loosely inspired by the psychological concept of the 'id' from Sigmund Freud's theory of personality.
- Much of the comedy relies on the lead character's internal conflict, a unique narrative device for a Tamil comedy at the time.
- The film's title "Nambiyaar" is an old Tamil term for a trustworthy person, creating irony with the protagonist's unreliable urges.
- Despite Santhanam's popularity, the film had a very limited theatrical run and moderate box office performance.
- The soundtrack was composed by N. R. Raghunanthan, who is better known as a playback singer than a composer.
