Trivia:
The film completed 175-day runs across halls in South India. A success meet was also held with Rajinikanth attending the function, where director K. S. Ravikumar revealed that it was the actor who picked the title.

The song "Swasame Swasame" from the soundtrack, was re-used in the final scene of the Hollywood movie The Accidental Husband (2008).

The album also featured the song "Injerungo", which became the first noted song of lyricist Thamarai, who used Jaffna slang within the song.

The story of the film was inspired by the Hollywood movie What About Bob? (1991).
