→Trivia
- The film's title 'Kattumarakaran' refers to a traditional Tamil fisherman who uses a catamaran, tying directly to the protagonist's livelihood.
- This was one of the earliest major film roles for actor Vijayakanth's wife, Premalatha, who played the sister of Muthazhagu's boss.
- Director P. Vasu is known for later blockbusters like 'Chandramukhi', but this film came during his earlier phase of romantic dramas.
- The movie's soundtrack, composed by Ilaiyaraaja, features a song ('En Veettu Thottathil') famously picturized on a moving train.
- The conflict between a fisherman's simple life and a rich industrialist's world was a common theme in 1990s Tamil cinema.
- Actor Napoleon, who played the lead, was often cast in roles portraying virtuous, middle-class heroes during this period.
- The film released the same year as the massive hit 'Baashha', which overshadowed many other Tamil films at the box office.
