- Vaanam is a Tamil remake of the Telugu film Vedam, both directed by the same filmmaker, Krish.
- Actor Bharath, who played the musician Saroja, performed his own guitar parts for the role.
- The film was shot in just 45 days, an unusually fast schedule for a multi-narrative project.
- Anushka Shetty's character, also named Saroja, was originally written as a more subdued role but was expanded.
- The movie's climax involving a hospital siege was inspired by real-life terrorist attacks reported in the media.
- Composer Yuvan Shankar Raja recorded the background score in a single overnight session.
- Despite critical praise, the film had a modest box office opening but later gained a cult following.
