Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dhanush performed both twin roles in the same frame without body doubles for several scenes, requiring precise timing and invisible split-screen techniques.
The film's political backdrop mirrors real Tamil Nadu dynastic politics, with Kodi's rise echoing the grassroots-to-power narratives of leaders like MGR and Jayalalithaa.
