Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ajith performed all nine disguises without prosthetics, relying entirely on makeup, wigs, and physical transformation — the Anthony old man look reportedly took four hours daily.
The Attipatthi massacre fictionalizes real episodes of police violence against Dalit settlements in 1990s Tamil Nadu, making Citizen an unusually direct political statement for mainstream Kollywood.
