→Trivia
- The film was inspired by a real-life person in Chennai who was nicknamed 'Hitler' due to his looks and strict nature.
- Actor Sivakumar, known for playing noble heroes, took on this unique role to break from his usual image.
- The movie's climax was shot at the famous Napier Bridge in Chennai, a popular filming location in the 80s.
- Director P. Madhavan often collaborated with Sivakumar, and this was one of their last major films together.
- The title and theme played on the global curiosity about Hitler's character, but set in a local Tamil context.
- Despite its provocative title, the film was a drama about personal transformation, not a historical biopic.
- The soundtrack by Shankar–Ganesh was popular, with the song 'Oru Koottil' becoming a hit at the time.
