As the film completes 8 years, we give you some interesting trivia about its making.

Dhanush and Richa Gangopadhyay had initially been signed to do Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam. Selvaraghavan started Mayakkam Enna with them, after the former got shelved.

The shooting for the film was wrapped up in 80 days, as Selva was in a hurry to move over to his next project, Vishwaroopam, with Kamal.

Dhanush sported a make-over for the film, and appeared in three different get-ups over the course of the movie.

Yuvan initially replaced GV Prakash Kumar as the music composer, with the latter claiming that it was due to 'money and time issues.'

In a sensational turn, GV Prakash was again assigned as the composer after Yuvan quit the project as he could not give priority to Selvaraghavan, who was in a rush to complete the film.

Television actress Deepa Venkat dubbed for Richa Gangopadhyay in the film.

Mayakkam Enna marked the film debut of acclaimed photographer Sundar Ramu. He played Dhanush's friend in the film.
