→Trivia
- The film's director Nambirajan was a former associate of director Mani Ratnam, and this was his directorial debut.
- Actress Roja, who played Nila, was already a popular star in Telugu cinema but this was one of her early Tamil lead roles.
- The movie's plot involving amnesia and an earthquake was considered an unusual melodrama for a Tamil action film in the mid-90s.
- Composer Deva, known for his folk and fast-paced numbers, provided the music, including the popular song 'Mannava Thunai'.
- The film was shot in parts of rural Tamil Nadu to depict the protagonist's simple life as a kulfi vendor.
- Actor Vijayakumar, who played a key supporting role, was a familiar face in family dramas but often in more urban settings.
- Despite its dramatic plot, the film did not perform strongly at the box office compared to other Vijayakanth action films of the era.
