Trivia

  • The film's title is a Tamil translation of the Aesop's fable 'The Wolf and the Lamb', reflecting its central conflict.
  • Director Mysskin himself played the small but pivotal role of the police officer who interrogates the protagonist.
  • The entire film was shot using only natural light and available sources, creating a distinct gritty visual style.
  • Composer Ilaiyaraaja recorded the background score in a single overnight session, which is highly unusual for film scoring.
  • The movie was partially inspired by real-life reports of medical students facing moral dilemmas in emergency situations.
  • It was shot extensively in the narrow lanes and old buildings of North Chennai to achieve an authentic urban atmosphere.
  • Despite critical praise, the film had a very limited theatrical release, which affected its initial box office performance.
