Trivia
- The film's title 'Mahaan' was inspired by a line from the 1999 Tamil film 'Mudhalvan', where the word is used to describe a great man.
- Vikram's character Gandhi Mahaan was originally written with a different actor in mind, but Karthik Subbaraj rewrote it after Vikram showed interest.
- The movie features a cameo by director Karthik Subbaraj himself as a bar customer in the scene where Gandhi opens his first bar.
- A key action sequence was shot at the real-life VGP Universal Kingdom amusement park in Chennai, which was temporarily closed for filming.
- The film's soundtrack includes a subtle musical tribute to Ilaiyaraaja, with a theme that echoes his classic composition style from the 1980s.
- Despite its modern setting, the story structure draws loose inspiration from ancient Indian epics about fathers and sons, like the Mahabharata.
- The climax scene involving the father and son was filmed over 12 nights in a specially constructed set to control lighting and weather effects.
