  1. ^ "Heroes turn real again". The Hindu. 2 October 2010. Retrieved 2 October 2010. Naan Mahaan Alla is a realistic action film that tries to fight off formula with its vulnerability and raw, street treatment.
  2. ^ "Director Suseenthiran's film undergoes a title change". Deccan Chronicle. 16 August 2017. Retrieved 16 August 2017. Like my earlier movie Naan Mahan Alla, this is also an offbeat action film where I have touched upon a social issue.
