Rumors suggest that a sequel was briefly planned in the late 90s with a different cast, but disagreements over the script led to its cancellation. Another theory is that "Part 1" was purely a joke—since the hero spends the entire film lying and "stealing" a family, the characters within the movie promise a sequel that will reveal more thefts, but the audience knows the story is complete.
Despite the absence of a sequel, the film is often referred to by fans as Thiruttu Purushan Part 1 to distinguish it from the unrelated 2002 film Thiruttu Thiruttu . This naming has given the movie a unique legacy—it is a "Part 1" to a sequel that exists only in our imagination. For those looking to experience this classic, the film is periodically available on YouTube (posted by various archival channels like Rajshri Tamil) and occasionally streams on OTT platforms like Sun NXT or Amazon Prime Video (with subscription checks). Given its age, the print quality may be standard definition, but the audio—especially the witty one-liners—remains crystal clear. Tamil Movie Thiruttu Purushan Part 1
