There is an interesting story behind the title. Director Kanagu, who was working as an assistant director with Lingusamy got the title from his mentor. 'Pidichirukku' was the title which Lingusamy was about to use for his Run. Since Kanagu liked the title, Lingusamy decided to give it to his protege.
