Trivia
- The film's director Robert Raaj is also a well-known cinematographer who has worked on many Tamil television serials.
- The movie was shot primarily in a single, large bungalow to maintain the claustrophobic and eerie atmosphere.
- Actor Prasanna, who plays the lead, had to perform several physically demanding scenes involving sudden scares and chases.
- The film's title 'Kalam' can mean 'time' or 'era' in Tamil, hinting at the mansion's past horrors resurfacing.
- Despite being a horror film, it incorporates themes of family estrangement and reconciliation within its plot.
- The movie had a limited theatrical release and later gained more attention through television broadcasts and streaming platforms.
- Special effects for the supernatural elements were kept minimal, relying more on sound design and lighting to create fear.
