Crew

Production and release

  • Style was the highest budgeted dance-musical in India at the time of its release.[1][2]
  • It was the first south Indian film to be shot with Super 35 camera.
  • Style was the first south Indian film to be color corrected.[1][2]
  • The producers, Sirisha and Sridhar Lagadapati, were approached by a distributor from a territory for Style. Since they were not eager to do business with him, it is said that they tried to dissuade him by quoting a then-exorbitant price for the movie. To their surprise, he immediately agreed and bought Style for his territory. The distributor thanks them even today since it was the only movie in a long time that had brought him profits.
  • This film was dubbed in Tamil with the title Lakshyam.[1][2]
