Trivia
- The film was inspired by the 1980 American horror film 'The Shining', adapting its supernatural elements into a Tamil action-drama context.
- This was one of the few films where actor Prabhu played a dual role early in his career, portraying both the hero and a character from a past life.
- The movie featured a rare combination of disco and classical dance, reflecting the popular culture clash of the early 1980s in Tamil cinema.
- Director S. P. Muthuraman and actor Prabhu collaborated frequently, but this film stands out for its experimental supernatural plot in their filmography.
- The soundtrack by Ilaiyaraaja included a song 'Poo Maalai' that became a hit, but the film itself had a moderate box office performance.
- Actress Radha, who played the female lead, was reportedly considered for the role due to her ability to perform both classical and modern dance sequences.
- The film's title 'Enakkul Oruvan' translates to 'Someone Within Me', directly hinting at the protagonist's internal conflict and past life theme.
