Trivia
- The film was shot in just 30 days, a very fast schedule for a major production at the time.
- This was the first Tamil film where actor Mammootty, a Malayalam superstar, played a full-length romantic lead role.
- The movie's title 'Azhagan' means 'beautiful man', directly referring to the protagonist's character.
- Actress Rohini, who plays one of the love interests, was a real-life assistant to director K. Balachander before becoming an actress.
- The film's music composer Ilaiyaraaja reused the tune of the song 'Kadhal Mayakam' from his own 1988 Telugu film 'Rudraveena'.
- A subplot involves a character learning Bharatanatyam, which was a common cultural motif in Balachander's films.
- Despite the star cast, the film did not perform as well as expected at the box office upon its initial release.
