Facts and Behind the Scenes

Kayilan marks Arul Ajit’s entry as a director, who also penned the story, making it a personal project after years in the industry. The team shot mostly in real Tamil Nadu spots to keep that grounded vibe, wrapping up earlier this year but delaying from July to October for better slots. Not many know the trailer was launched quietly but got praise for its raw edge, with Ramya Pandian prepping hard for her intense scenes by working with acting coaches.

Another cool fact is the film draws from real mystery tales Ajit heard, blending them into a thriller without going too dark. Most folks aren’t aware Shivada joined late but nailed her role, and the crew kept reshoots minimal to stay true to the script. With a small budget focus on story over stars, it’s got that indie spirit Punjabi fans might relate to, but in Tamil style.
