Trivia
- The film's famous 'Naan oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna maadiri' dialogue was improvised by Rajinikanth on set.
- Baasha was initially offered to Kamal Haasan, who turned it down before Rajinikanth accepted the role.
- The movie's iconic background score was composed by Deva, who used a unique synth sound to create the 'Baasha theme'.
- The film's climax was shot in a single schedule at a real textile market in Chennai to capture the gritty atmosphere.
- Baasha was a major comeback for Rajinikanth, whose previous few films had not performed well at the box office.
- The character name 'Manickam' was also the name of Rajinikanth's father-in-law, which was a personal touch added to the script.
- Despite its massive success, the film faced criticism for its violent content, leading to some cuts for the television broadcast.
