The film was loosely based on various real-life crimes where the suspects are identical twins. Thadamu0027s biggest strength was Arun Vijayu0027s convincing performance as Kavin and Ezhil. Though the brothers looked similar, he showed a distinct body language and a unique dialogue delivery for the two characters. The film was a blockbuster hit.
