Mammootty reportedly took no salary for this film, treating it as a 'gift' to Malayalam cinema for his milestone.
The film sparked real political debate in Kerala about whether Chandran models more closely resemble Pinarayi Vijayan's administrative style or V.S. Achuthanandan's populist antagonism toward his own party.
