Production

One scene required Ganesan to throw a knife at Nambiar. He did so, but the director had not called for "action" when Nambiar saw something come straight at him like a "bat out of hell". Nambiar only had one second to turn his head before the knife grazed his eye and impaled itself into the wall, leaving Nambiar with a permanent black spot on the eye.
