Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The '5.0' miniature robot Kutti was created using forced perspective and practical effects rather than full CGI, a deliberate throwback to Shankar's earlier films.
This was India's most expensive film at release and became a political lightning rod when telecom companies pressured for edits regarding radiation fears.
