Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Veeram (2017)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Jayaraj revealed in 2018 that he had approached Mohanlal for the lead role and handed him the screenplay, but the actor showed no interest.
- After finishing the screenplay, Jayaraj placed a newspaper advertisement looking for producers, and a Qatar-based banker and old friend answered it, almost thirty years after he and Jayaraj had first discussed making a film together.
- Because Kunal Kapoor was most comfortable in Hindi and least in Malayalam, each of his scenes was shot first in Hindi, then reshot in English and finally in Malayalam, with filming days running up to 16 hours.
- Stunt choreographer Allan Poppleton spent almost two months researching the martial art Kalaripayattu at various teaching centres, then blended Kalari movements with his own style to suit the camera angles.
