  • Suriya performed many of his own stunts, including a dangerous fight scene on a moving train.
  • The character played by Vadivelu was initially written as a small role but was expanded due to his comic timing.
  • A song sequence was shot in Iceland, making it one of the earliest Tamil films to feature scenes from that country.
  • The film's climax was inspired by a famous scene from the Hollywood movie 'The Fugitive'.
  • Composer Harris Jayaraj reused one of his own earlier tunes from the film 'Unnale Unnale' for a song in this movie.
