Trivia
- The film's title 'Lee' is short for the protagonist's full name Leelatharan, a common Tamil nickname style.
- Director Prabhu Solomon shot parts of the film in real, less-filmed locations around Chennai to capture a raw, local feel.
- The movie blends the real-world issues of political corruption and cricket match-fixing, which were hot topics in the 2000s.
- Actor Bharath, who played Lee, was primarily known for romantic roles before this more intense action-drama part.
- The soundtrack by Srikanth Deva features a song 'Oru Naalil' that became popular despite the film's moderate box office run.
- A key subplot involves a facility for the mentally-challenged, a social setting not often central in Tamil action films of that era.
- The film's climax and theme drew comparisons to earlier 2000s thrillers about common people confronting corruption, but it remains a lesser-known work in the director's filmography.
