Trivia

  • The film's title 'Ya Yaa' is a playful Tamil phrase meaning 'yes yes', reflecting its lighthearted comedy tone.
  • Director I. Rajasekaran is known for rural-themed films, but this movie was set in an urban backdrop, a shift from his usual style.
  • Santhanam's character name 'Sehwag' is a direct reference to the famous Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, adding to the comedic cricket theme.
  • The movie's soundtrack was composed by Srikanth Deva, who is the son of veteran film composer Deva.
  • Despite starring popular comedian Santhanam, the film had a very limited theatrical run and low box office collections.
  • Actress Dhanshika, who played the female lead, is primarily known for supporting roles in Tamil and Telugu films.
  • The film's plot involving a buck-toothed character played by Devadarshini was seen as using physical traits for humor, a common trope in comedies of that era.
