Trivia

- Director Nelson originally planned a different actor for the antagonist role before finalizing Vinayakan.
- The 'Kaavaalaa' song was shot in just two days, with Rajinikanth's portions completed in a single day.
- The film subtly references the 1999 film 'Padayappa' through the character name 'Muthuvel Pandian'.
- A real retired jailer was consulted to ensure authenticity in Rajinikanth's mannerisms and uniform details.
- The climax scene involving a truck was filmed using a real vehicle, not just visual effects.
- Composer Anirudh incorporated a motif from his earlier hit 'Why This Kolaveri Di' in the background score.
