Trivia

- Vikram's character Arumugham was originally planned to be played by another actor, but the director changed his mind after seeing Vikram's performance in 'Samurai'.
- The song 'Chithirai Nilavu' was filmed in just two days at a hill station, which was a tight schedule for a song sequence.
- Actress Jyothika performed her own stunts in a few action scenes, despite having a stunt double available for safety.
- The movie's title 'Dhool' means 'dust' in Tamil, symbolizing the hero's earthy, rural background and the pollution conflict.
