- Kamal Haasan played 10 different roles, but the film originally had a script for 12 characters for him.
- The film's budget was around 120 crore rupees, making it one of the most expensive Indian films at the time.
- The tsunami scene was created using miniatures and visual effects, not large-scale water sets.
- Asin was cast as the female lead after her successful debut in 'Ghajini' the previous year.
- The film's climax was partly inspired by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which occurred during production.
- A. R. Rahman composed the score, but the song 'Kallai Mattum' was originally written for another film.
- The prosthetic makeup for Kamal Haasan's older character, Krishnaveni, took over four hours to apply each day.
