Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Kadhal Kadhai' but 'Meendum' was added later to avoid confusion with another movie.
- Director Mithran Jawahar is known for light-hearted films, making this serious interfaith romance a slight shift in tone for him.
- Actress Manjima Mohan, who played the female lead, was reportedly selected after the director saw her in a Malayalam film.
- The movie's soundtrack by composer G. V. Prakash Kumar includes a song that reuses the tune from his own earlier hit 'Ava Enna' from 'Vaaranam Aayiram'.
- Despite its modern setting, the film did not perform well at the box office, struggling to find a wide audience.
- Some scenes were shot in the coastal town of Puducherry, using its French-colonial architecture as a backdrop for the romance.
- The story draws loose inspiration from real-life interfaith relationship challenges common in Tamil society, but is not based on one specific event.
