One of the song sequences from the film had 80 feet huge cut-out of MGR in the get up which appeared in Enga Veetu Pillai. In 2009, director Badri's new film Thambikku Indha Ooru, was initially titled Enga Veettu Pillai but this was changed as the producer could not get the rights to use the same.
Soundtrack album to Enga Veettu Pillai by Nagi Reddy expressed disappointment that the costumes and lyrics were not jelling well in one stanza of a song, during next day MGR completed the shots and Nagireddy was surprised seeing the involvement of Ramachandran. MGR who came to know about the incident incorporated it in the film. Raja Sandow, wrestler appeared in a small role in the film, his scene in the film is based on the real life incident happened in his life during his experiences of his first stint at acting. Sakthi came back and wrote dialogues that were agreeable to all. MGR who watched all this with a smile called the director and told him to go to the writer's house to apologise. Sakthi heard this, came to him took the dialogue papers, tore them and walked away saying no one can change his dialogues. Once during the shooting, the director found the actors struggling with the words, the director asked Sakthi's assistant to change the words, despite MGR warning him not to.
