Trivia:
Mammootty was the actual choice to play the lead but has declined due to prior commitments.

Shooting for this movie predominantly took place across exotic locations in Srinagar and Pollachi.

The title of this movie is derived from the extremely prestigious Indian gallantry award, 'Kirti Chakra', that is bestowed upon those who display extraordinary bravery and courage in the battlefield, often sacrificing their own lives in the process.

This movie was dubbed in Tamil under the title 'Aran', with some additional scenes for Prakash Raj.

This is the first movie in the Major Mahadevan series, that was followed by Kurukshetra and Kandahar.

This movie marks the directorial debut of A.K. Ravindran, an army officer who had resigned from duty with the dream of making a movie about his real experiences.
