→Trivia
- The film's director, Nandhakumaran M, was a former assistant to director Mani Ratnam.
- Actor Prashanth, who played Thennavan, performed many of his own action stunts without a body double.
- The movie's plot about election reform was considered unusually bold for mainstream Tamil cinema in 2003.
- The film's climax was shot in a specially constructed large set designed to look like the national parliament.
- Despite its serious political theme, the soundtrack by Deva included a popular romantic song, 'Kannukkul Yetho'.
- The movie did not perform well commercially, which temporarily affected Prashanth's career as a leading actor.
- Actress Laila, the female lead, was reportedly cast partly due to her popularity from the hit song 'Appadi Podu'.
