In a scene where the car stops at a railway gate, Kamal's watch goes missing in one of the shots and in the next shot he has a watch.
Trivia:
This movie also had a simultaneously produced Hindi version that was released in 2000.

Shah Rukh Khan did not ask for any remuneration from Kamal Haasan as he considered it an honour and privilege to work with one of his mentors.

Initially Director-Producer Kamal Haasan had signed Mohan Gokhale for the role of Shriram Abhyankar, but while staying in Chennai, India, in a hotel, Gokhale died of a heart attack.

This is the very first Indian movie to feature a soundtrack performed by a full fledged symphony orchestra. The soundtrack was performed by Laslo Kovaks of Budapest Symphonic Orchestra, Hungary.

The film was chosen as India's official entry to the Oscars to be considered for nomination in the Best Foreign Film category for the year 2000.
