Trivia
The last look of vijay(dharmeshwar) is to be continued on the sequel of Theri. The makers of Theri have started shooting. See more »Alternate Versions
The film was initially passed '15' uncut in the UK, the distribution company then opted to re-edit scenes in in order to secure a more audience friendly '12A' rating. In doing so 1 minute and 12 seconds of cuts were made which removed some stronger moments of violence (heavier blows, sprays of blood, bloody bullet impacts and sight of blood being coughed up) as well as stronger verbal references during a description of sexual violence. Following these changes the film was re-classified '12A' and the uncut '15' version was lifted from the BBFC database. See more »Soundtracks
