→Trivia
- The film was simultaneously shot in Hindi as 'Raavan' with a different cast, except for Aishwarya Rai who played the female lead in both versions.
- Vikram, who played Veeraiya, reportedly stayed in a forest for weeks and learned tribal dance to prepare for his role.
- The movie's climax was shot in the dense forests of Kerala, where the crew faced challenges like heavy rain and leeches.
- Composer A.R. Rahman recorded the song 'Kodu Potta' with folk singers from Tamil Nadu to get an authentic tribal sound.
- The character Veeraiya is loosely inspired by the mythological demon king Ravana from the epic Ramayana, but from a different perspective.
- Aishwarya Rai performed many of her own stunts, including scenes where she was tied to trees or jumped into rivers.
- The film's title 'Raavanan' was initially kept secret during production, with the crew referring to it by a code name.
