幕後花絮
Kamal Hassan got the idea of making the film while shooting for Sagar 1985 along with actor Liliput.
Kamal plays two roles. One of the roles is a dwarf. No CGI was used to create dwarf Kamal Hassan.
Earlier there was to be only one character of Kamal Hassan whose rejected by many girls as he is a dwarf and in the climax he joins circus as a clown.But Singeetam Srinivasa Rao dropped the idea and then added another character with the revenge angle.
Kamal decided to produce the film himself since no producer were willing to do the film.
Film known for double role of Kamal Hassan.But instead he played triple roles in the film the character of Appu and Raja's father Sethupathy was also played by him.
It was dubbed into Telugu as Vichithra Sodarulu and into Hindi as Appu Raja in 1990. Appu Raja released in 50 screens in North India netting 50 Lakh at the box office.
A Scientist from Bangalore was invited and he came up with a whole lot of sketches he had worked out on how the dwarf would be created.He spent a year researching his role, spending Rs 2 Lakh in the process. He even went to Hollywood scouting for special effects but opted out as there was little expertise or footage available as even Hollywood had not had much success with the dwarf. He consulted electronic engineers to make possible gadgets and in desperation talked to a magician.
A pair of special shoes was prepared to be attached to the folded knees of the actor for the straight angle shots. The legs had been taken care of and the mannerism adopted by Kamal Haasan by holding his arms in a particular way jelled with his "dwarf" legs. For the side angle shots, a trench was dug up just to cover up the actor's legs from the feet to knees, with special shoes attached at the knee level.
Animals used in the films were trained by Ravindra Sherpad Deval.
The circus portions in the film were filmed at Gemini Circus.
First Collaboration of the infamous combo Kamal Hassan and Crazy Mohan.
For the character of dwarf Kamal Hassan had to tie his legs behind and walk on his knees.Doctors had made Kamal Hassan aware about his risk as there were chances he might loose his legs by walking on the knees during the whole shoot.
Behindwoods included Appu's character in their list "Top 10 Avatars of Kamal" and wrote "one of Kamal's landmark makeovers in cinema".
In the list "Mesmerising Masked Men" from the same website mentioned that "as a tragic character that had to wear a clown's mask to show a cheerful face to the world though he himself is angst ridden and weeping inside more often than not".
On Kamal's birthday, 7 November 2015, Latha Srinivasan of Daily News and Analysis considered Apoorva Sagodharargal to be one of the "films you must watch to grasp the breadth of Kamal Haasan's repertoire".
Times of India in their list "Kamal Haasan's Top 10 mindblowing avatars" wrote that Kamal "created history by playing a dwarf who was almost half his original height".
In September 2007, Sakthi Vasu expressed interest in remaking the film.
Singer Mahathi listed "Pudhu Maappillaiku" as her all-time favourite song.
Behindwoods included "Raja Kaiya Vacha" in their list "Unforgettable songs of Kamal".
Baradwaj Rangan of The Hindu stated in his review of I (2015) that the film reminds of "Apoorva Sagotharargal".
