Trivia

  • The film's climax fight scene was shot at a real chemical factory in Chennai, with the crew getting special permission to film there.
  • 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.
  • A real village in Tamil Nadu was used for filming the rural portions, with many locals appearing as extras in crowd scenes.
  • The comedy track involving Vivek's character was partly improvised, with the actor adding his own dialogues during shooting.
