Trivia
- Partibhan and Soundarya team together for the first time and playing a crucial role is Meena in Ivan.
- After a long gap, Partibhan returns to direction. Apart from playing the hero, he pens the story-screenplay-dialogue, and wields the megaphone.
- Meena gave a fantastic performance , her dancing's were hot and sizzling. Her cute,loud,childish character was a big plus and she justifices the lack of comedy by her performance.
