Trivia

- Director Dharani Dharan drew inspiration from real-life car seizure agents in North Chennai to shape the film's gritty setting.
- Actor Atul Kulkarni, who plays the financier, learned Tamil specifically for this role to deliver his lines authentically.
- The movie features a cameo by director Mysskin as a police officer, though his role is uncredited in the final cut.
- Burma was shot extensively in the narrow lanes and housing boards of North Madras to capture the local atmosphere realistically.
- The car chase sequences were choreographed without digital effects, using practical stunts performed by local drivers.
- Despite being a crime thriller, the film includes subtle references to Tamil folk songs in its background score.
