Trivia
- The film's title 'Sadhu Mirandal' is a playful twist on the name of the famous Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dalí.
- It was one of the earliest Tamil films to use the plot device of a protagonist hiding within a traveling drama troupe.
- Director Thirumalai was primarily known for his work in mythological films, making this crime thriller an unusual departure.
- The movie's climax is set during a dramatic stage performance, blurring the lines between the play and real-life conflict.
- Actor Muthuraman, who played the lead, was reportedly a last-minute replacement for another popular star of the era.
- The film's soundtrack by M. S. Viswanathan features a rare 'ghost song' where a character pretends to be possessed.
- Despite its thriller plot, the film incorporates elements of Tamil folk theatre, or 'therukoothu', into its drama troupe scenes.
