    • Trivia
      The Film Federation of India selected the production as the official submission for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 69th Academy Awards. The selection committee favored the film over other domestic contenders following its commercial performance and technical scale in the South Indian market. Despite the official submission status, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did not include the title in the final list of five nominees for the 1997 ceremony.
