Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Sakthi' and shot in Cinemascope in 1980, long before its 1986 release.
- It was intended to be the first lead pairing of Kamal Haasan and Ambika, with promotional stills of Ambika in a swimsuit creating early buzz.
- The movie's release was postponed partly due to local elections, as the director felt the original title 'Meendum Suryodayam' (Rising Sun) might be politically sensitive after the DMK's victory.
- Director C.V. Sridhar reunited with Kamal Haasan after their successful collaboration in the 1978 film 'Ilamai Oonjal Aadukirathu', which also starred Rajinikanth.
- The film underwent a last-minute title change from 'Meendum Suryodayam' to 'Naanum Oru Thozhilali' just before its final release.
- Despite the delays, the movie was part of a wave of Kamal Haasan films in the mid-80s that blended social drama with commercial action elements.
- The film's production troubles, including its six-year journey, reflect the volatile nature of Tamil cinema scheduling and financing in that era.
