Trivia
- The film's working title was 'Thalaivar 165' because it was Rajinikanth's 165th movie as lead actor.
- Director Karthik Subbaraj included the song 'Marana Mass' as a tribute to the style of 1990s Rajinikanth films.
- Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who plays the villain, learned his Tamil dialogues phonetically as he does not speak the language.
- The movie's climax was shot in the freezing cold at a hill station in Ooty, with temperatures near zero degrees Celsius.
- A popular fan theory suggests the character Kaali is a spiritual successor to Rajinikanth's earlier role in the 1995 film 'Baashha'.
- The film's soundtrack by Anirudh Ravichander was released as a single album without separate singles, which was unusual at the time.
- The character name 'Petta' is a colloquial Tamil term often used to affectionately address an older, respected man.
