[edit] Trivia

  • 'Vaa..ji Vaa..ji Sivaji - a song sequence shot at the Ramoji Rao Film City at Hyderabad with sets reportedly costing Rs. 2.75 crores.
  • The crew of the movie is under strict orders not to divulge any information about the film, its story or about the events on the sets. Still, some local magazines have managed to acquire pictures of the sets. This angered the director and AVM so much that the director is now planning to completely ban the use of camera-phones on the sets.
  • Aishwarya Rai, Ayesha Takia and Rani Mukherjee were considered and even approached for the role of the leading lady of the film but all of them refused due to Shankar's requirement that they not act in any other film before finishing this venture.
  • Names of many popular actresses, including Sadha, Trisha, Asin, Nayantara, Manisha Koirala and Shilpa Shetty were considered for making the item number in the film. But, finally, Mallika Sherawat, is reportedly selected to make a very special appearance in the song sequence. Later on, it was reported that Nayantara will also be doing an item number in Sivaji.
  • The dubbing rights of this movie were sold to producer N.V. Prasad for a price of Rs. 25 crores.

  • This is the eighth film that composer A.R. Rahman is working with director Shankar.
  • Mohan Lal, Amitabh Bachchan, Nana Patekar and even Sathyaraj were called on to do the villain role which was later taken by Suman who has fame from the Rajini-starrer, Thee.
  • This is the third time costume designer Manish Malhotra is working with director Shankar.
  • This is said to be Kollywood's most expensive movie till date with sources saying that the film's expense will reach Rs.50 crores(close to $11 million USD).
  • Rajini is already the highest paid actor in India and rumours are that his paycheck for this movie is higher than what he ever got.
  • Out of Sivaji’s budget, Rajini takes home close to 20 crore which is more than just half of the budget.
  • Rajini had the luck of becoming a grandfather for the first time during the shooting of Sivaji in October 2006.
