Recently, at the audio launch of Idli Kadai, Dhanush claimed that the film’s title was inspired by his love for idlis in childhood. He said, “As a kid, I always craved idlis every single day, but I couldn’t afford them. Hence, we started collecting flowers from the neighbourhood. The money we get will be based on the amount of flowers we collect every day. My sister, cousins and I would wake up at 4 AM to do this for over two hours. We’d get a little over ₹2 each for the jobs.”
