Trivia

  • Composer Anirudh Ravichander used a unique 'whistle' motif in the background score to represent the villain's character.
  • The role of the female lead was initially offered to a few other actresses before Nayanthara was finally cast.
  • A special police uniform was tailored for Rajinikanth to give his character a more stylish and authoritative look.
  • The film's title 'Darbar' refers to a royal court, symbolizing the protagonist's powerful and commanding presence as police commissioner.
  • Some of the high-speed chase scenes were filmed using modified cars and rigs to achieve a more realistic effect without excessive CGI.
