Trivia
- The film was initially titled 'Sethupathi IPS' but was shortened to just 'Sethupathi' before release.
- Director S. U. Arunkumar wrote the script specifically with actor Vijay Sethupathi in mind for the lead role.
- The movie's climax was shot in a single, continuous 11-minute take, which was a technical challenge for the crew.
- Actress Remya Nambeesan, who plays the female lead, learned to ride a scooter for the first time for a key scene in the film.
- The character name 'Vaathiyar', meaning teacher, was chosen to contrast the villain's authoritative yet corrupt nature.
- The film's background score uses a recurring motif of a ticking clock to build tension during investigation scenes.
- Despite being a thriller, the movie includes subtle references to Tamil folk proverbs in its dialogue.
