Trivia
- The film's title 'Sullan' means 'enemy' in Tamil, but it was also the nickname of a real-life gangster from Madurai.
- Director Ramana originally wanted to cast a more established star, but chose Dhanush to bring a fresh, youthful energy to the lead role.
- This was one of the few early 2000s Tamil action films shot almost entirely in and around Madurai, giving it a distinct rural texture.
- The climax fight scene was choreographed by stunt master Silva, known for his work in Rajinikanth's 'Baba'.
- Composer Vidyasagar's background score used specific folk percussion instruments to match the film's rustic setting.
- Despite being an action film, it had a delayed release in some regions due to disputes between the producers and distributors.
- The character of the cruel moneylender was inspired by common stories of village oppression reported in Tamil newspapers at the time.
