→Trivia
- The film's director, Usha Rajeshwari, is a former journalist who spent over a decade researching Bharathiar's spiritual writings before making this documentary.
- It features rare, never-before-seen photographs of Bharathiar from private family archives, not commonly found in public history books.
- The soundtrack uses only traditional Tamil folk instruments like the 'thavil' and 'nadhaswaram' to match the poet's own musical style.
- Much of the filming took place in Pondicherry, where Bharathiar spent his final years and wrote many of his spiritual poems.
- The documentary avoids using any background narration, telling the story only through Bharathiar's own poetry and letters.
- It premiered at a small spiritual film festival in Chennai before its wider theatrical release in 2025.
- A central theme is Bharathiar's worship of the goddess Kali, which he saw as a source of creative and revolutionary power.
