The speculation for the reason behind the ban is that the film, directed by Rajesh M Selva, allegedly portrays the Malaysian police force in a bad light. In the film, a few members of the Malaysian police force are shown as corrupt and working for criminals.

A remake of the French film Point Blank, Kadaram Kondan had Vikram play KK, a mysterious agent and hitman. The title translates to 'Conqueror of Kadaram' (a Malaysian state which is also called Kedah). The film also stars Lena, Abi Hassan and Akshara Haasan in pivotal roles. The film was dubbed and released in Telugu as Mr. KK.
