→Trivia
- The entire film was shot in just 20 days at a real village location with a converted marriage hall.
- Most actors were local villagers who lived on set for the shoot and were shown the edited footage nightly.
- Director Kamalakannan stated the film neither encourages nor discourages drinking, just shows the shop's 'in and out' matters.
- It was shot using the rare N7 camera, handled by cinematographer Sumee Baskaran.
- The film's realistic setting was created by attaching a functional bar to a local 'kalyana mantap' (marriage hall).
- The director trained the non-professional cast on-site, blending their real lives with the script.
