Trivia
- The film's title 'Vathiyar' means 'teacher' in Tamil, reflecting the protagonist's original profession before becoming a vigilante.
- Actor Arjun performed many of his own stunts in the film, including a risky fight sequence on a moving vehicle.
- Composer Vidyasagar's background score used a mix of traditional Tamil folk instruments and modern orchestration.
- The movie's climax involving a bomb threat was partly inspired by real-life political tensions in Tamil Nadu during the mid-2000s.
- Actress Sujatha, who played Arjun's mother, was a last-minute replacement for another veteran actress who fell ill.
- A comedy scene with Vadivelu was improvised on set and became so popular it was extended in the final cut.
- The film's release was delayed by two months due to disagreements over the censorship of certain violent scenes.
