Trivia
- Simhasanam with Prithviraj Sukumaran was initially planned as the remake of Naduvazhikal, but on scripting, it deviated so much from the original story that, it was no longer a rehashed version of the 1989 hit. So the makers of Simhasanam made it as a loosely based adaptation of Mario Puzo's The Godfather.[4]
- The film was the last collaboration between S. N. Swamy and Mohanlal until the release of Lokpal in 2013.
