Cast & Crew

Trivia

  • The film's original title was 'Naan Sigappu Manithan', but it was released in Telugu as 'Kick 2' to capitalize on the popularity of the 2014 film 'Kick' starring Ravi Teja.
  • Director Thiru stated that the idea for the protagonist's narcolepsy condition came from reading about rare medical disorders in newspapers.
  • Actress Iniya, who played Meera, was initially hesitant to take on the role due to the intense and emotional scenes required.
  • The film's climax was shot in a single, continuous 11-minute take, which was a technical challenge for the crew and actors.
  • Despite being an action drama, the movie includes a cameo by comedian Santhanam in a brief humorous scene to lighten the mood.
  • The film's soundtrack by G. V. Prakash Kumar includes a song that was partially recorded in a studio built inside a house to achieve a specific acoustic effect.
  • It was one of the early Tamil films to explore a neurological disorder as a central plot device, rather than just a side element.
