  • Ever wondered how KAMAL managed to wear such a big and thick glass the power of the specs was +10 it seems, Kamal  wore a -10 contact lens and then wore this +10 glass...Madavan told this in one interview
  • Kamal would tell Madhavan that he doens't have one leg...in the next scene he lies down on the floor (in the hotel room) and if you notice carefully the length of his two legs would be different....all these requires minute attention but still he does it
  • In the climax kamal says to nasser naan oru tool..ayutham..kathir aruthavudanae aruvaala keela vachuranum..aani adichavidanae suthiyaiyum atha thaan cheiyanum both are the symbols of communism-sickle and hammer
  • In this movie during the bus accident scene a dog would be targeted by the locals and would get hurt in his ears and will start bleeding (you can notice while it runs)....once Kamal recovers and goes back to the same place the dog would have a bandage in the ear
  • Madavan's Name Is ANBU-Arasu Kamal's Name Is NallaSIVAM
  • Near the climax,(KAMAL’s lettar for madhavan, he written that lettar by left hand)so kiran not recognise his signature.importantly first half of the lettar read loudly by kiran in her s voice.then suddenly madhvan pick that lettar from kiran and read himself silently in voice of Kamal

  1. Of the 2 spies sent by Arjun and Kamal, the first commits suicide. Kamal and Arjun see his dead body in the mortuary. The doctor says " Heavy dose of cyanide poisoning". Arjun places his left hand near the dead man's face and starts feeling sad because both the spies were very close to Arjun.Kamal brings his hand close to Arjun's hand and everyone expects that he will say some consoling words to Arjun. But, Kamal sees the watch on Arjun's hand and immediately asks " Trichy train ethana manikku ? " .{ As per the spy's info, some important terrorist would be boarding that particular train
  2. When Kamal comes back home in the middle of the night after not being able to trace Nasser's hide out , he comes and takes a shower bath.We can notice that he is covered with dirt and filth from head to toe. That is an indirect portrayal that he has betrayed his Nation and a true friend Arjun for his personal reasons.So, he washes the dirt , becomes clean and the very next day , sets out fearlessly to kill Nasser and company
  3. After Arjun's death kamal goes to record theatre to meet one of nasser's men .The Guy would be coming to meet his fiance .As the fiance watches the movie awaiting the guy , song in the background goes like "Odi vaa vennailave "The guy spots his fiancee with a torchlight
