Trivia
- The film's title 'Thai Porandaachu' is a Tamil phrase meaning 'January has arrived,' often linked to the Pongal festival season.
- Director R.K. Kalaimani was known for comedy-dramas, and this film marked one of his later directorial works in the early 2000s.
- Actor Vivek, who played Giri, was already a popular comedian, but this film gave him a rare leading role in a full-length feature.
- The character name 'Torture Dharma' for the antagonist became a memorable nickname in Tamil cinema for a comically fearsome figure.
- The movie's plot of a man pretending a stranger is his wife echoes themes from the 1994 Hindi film 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!', though with a comedic twist.
- Parts of the film were shot in Chennai, using real urban locations to depict the house-broker setting and city life.
- The soundtrack was composed by Deva, a prolific film composer known for his work in 1990s and early 2000s Tamil cinema.
