Anjaneya marked Thala Ajith's first film as a cop in Tamil cinema. But how many of you know that Anjaneya was not supposed to be Ajith's first cop film?
This film was directed by Nanda Periyasami, who in his official Facebook account posted, "Not many know about this. My very first directorial was titled Mahaa, which had Thala Ajith in the lead role. We shot for eight days, but he got injured during a stunt sequence. He couldn't continue to act due to this, and this resulted in a difference of opinion with the film's producer Chakravarthy. As a result, the film was stopped.
The film had an experienced crew including cinematographer Jeeva, lyricist Vairamuthu, music director Harris Jayaraj, stunt director Kanal Kannan, art director Thotta Tharani and others.
Even at this moment, I am hurt when I think about it. Had this movie been my debut, my career graph would have been entirely different. Mahaa was the first film in which Thala sported the getup of a police man."
Eventually, Nanda Periyasami's first debut film became 'Oru Kallooriyin Kadhai' which had Arya and Sonia Agarwal in lead roles.
