Trivia

  • The film's title 'Sulthan' is a nod to the director's father, veteran filmmaker K. Bhagyaraj, who often used the name for his lead characters.
  • Karthi performed most of his own stunts, including a high-risk fight scene on a moving truck without a body double.
  • The village set was built from scratch in Chennai to avoid disrupting real villages during the 45-day shoot schedule.
  • Composer Yuvan Shankar Raja recorded the background score live with a 60-piece orchestra to enhance the film's dramatic feel.
  • A key action sequence was inspired by a real-life incident where farmers protected their land from outsiders using traditional tools.
  • The film's climax was shot during heavy monsoon rains, causing delays but adding a natural intensity to the scenes.
  • Despite being an action film, it includes subtle references to classic Tamil cinema through dialogue and character names.
