Trivia

  • This was the only film where actor Arun Pandian directed his son, actor C. Arun Pandian, in the lead role.
  • The movie's climax was notably shot in the cold, high-altitude locations of Chandigarh and surrounding hill stations.
  • Actor Karthik, who played the lawyer, was a major romantic hero in the 80s and 90s, making this a shift to a character role.
  • The film's soundtrack by Deva included a remix of his own earlier hit song 'Oruvan Oruvan' from the 1990 film 'Muthu'.
  • Despite being an action drama, the film featured a significant romantic subplot with actress Rambha, which was common for commercial films of that era.
  • Director C. Arun Pandian was also a prominent producer and distributor in Tamil cinema during the late 90s and early 2000s.
  • The movie's plot involving a strategically placed video camera during a murder was a relatively novel narrative device in early 2000s Tamil cinema.
