Trivia
- The film's title 'Ezhai Jaathi' translates to 'Poor Caste', directly highlighting its focus on class struggle and social inequality.
- Director Liaquat Ali Khan was known for his socially conscious films, and this was one of his few major Tamil directorial ventures.
- The movie features a cameo by veteran actor Nizhalgal Ravi in a supporting role as a key ally to Vijayakanth's character.
- It was released during a period in the early 1990s when Tamil cinema saw a surge in political dramas addressing corruption.
- The climax involving a proletariat revolution was considered bold for its time and drew comparisons to some contemporary Marxist narratives in theatre.
- Music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, but the soundtrack is less remembered compared to his other prolific work from that era.
- The film's narrative structure, where the hero initially fails in electoral politics, was a departure from typical Vijayakanth action films of the period.
