* Dialog writer Karunanidhi (Ex-Chief minister of Tamilnadu) took the liberty of making slight modifications to the original epic. He made some deft changes so that the derogatory allusions to the goldsmith community were avoided. Also, Kannagi is said to have plucked/cut out her left breast and set Madurai on fire. Being a rationalist, Karunanidhi made Vijayakumari go around doing the deed with a lighted torch.
