- Actor Vijay Sethupathi made a cameo appearance in the film, though his role was uncredited in early promotions.
- The movie's soundtrack was composed by D. Imman, who reused one of his own earlier tunes from a Telugu film for a song here.
- A fight scene involving a bus was shot in a single take to increase realism, requiring multiple rehearsals.
