Trivia
- The film's title 'Kaadhalan' was changed to 'Premikudu' for its Telugu release and 'Humse Hai Muqabala' in Hindi, with the Hindi version starring Shah Rukh Khan in a special appearance.
- The iconic 'Urvasi Urvasi' song was originally composed for another film but was reused here, becoming a massive hit and popularizing hip-hop in Tamil cinema.
- Actress Nagma, who played Shruthi, was initially hesitant to accept the role but was convinced by director Shankar's narration.
- The film's villain, played by Raghuvaran, was inspired by a real-life politician known for his authoritarian style, adding a layer of social commentary.
- Kaadhalan was one of the earliest Tamil films to extensively use computer graphics, especially in the song 'Mukkabla'.
- The film's success led to a legal dispute over its remake rights, with multiple producers claiming ownership for different language versions.
- Prabhu Deva's dance steps in 'Urvasi Urvasi' were heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, whom he admired, and the song's choreography became a cultural phenomenon.
