'Dheena' is a milestone in Ajith's career as he came to be known as Thala after characters in the film addressed him to show their respect. Actor Sampath Rao played one of the henchmen of Ajith in the film and he has opened up in a recent interview that people recognize him only through the role and thanks to Ajith.

Sampath Rao also shared that the bullet bike used by Ajith in the film belonged to him but unfortunately he had to sell it when at one time he was in financial difficulties and was not able to pay his house rent.
