Trivia
- The film's title 'Thirupaachi' refers to a type of machete or long knife, a tool central to the hero's blacksmith background and his weapon of choice.
- Director Perarasu is known for his mass hero scripts, and this was his second consecutive hit with actor Vijay after 'Thirumalai'.
- A popular comedy scene involving a character named 'Kadhal' and a mobile phone ringtone became a major talking point and was widely imitated.
- The song 'Kadhal Vaithu' was filmed in Bangkok, a common location for Tamil films at the time, but its picturisation stood out for its vibrant sets.
- The film faced some criticism for its violent content but was a major commercial success, especially in rural and B-centers.
- Actress Trisha Krishnan, who played the female lead, was reportedly not the first choice for the role, but her pairing with Vijay was well-received.
- The climax fight sequence, set in a warehouse, was noted for its extensive use of props and lengthy choreography, taking multiple days to shoot.
