Trivia
- The film was initially titled 'Violence'. However, due to objection raised by the censor board the title was changed to 'Stop Violence'. The censors asked for at least 10 cuts because they felt it showed women in bad light and that too much blood is being split on the screen. They decided not to challenge the cuts and also agreed for a change in title.
- Chandra Lakshman who played Angelina was a TV actress.
