Trivia
- The film's title 'Ism' is a shortened form of the word 'terrorism', reflecting its plot about political corruption.
- Director Puri Jagannadh originally planned to cast a different actor but chose Nandamuri Kalyan Ram after being impressed by his look.
- The movie was shot in just 40 days, a very fast schedule even for Puri Jagannadh's typically quick productions.
- Actress Hebah Patel, who plays the gangster's daughter, had to learn Telugu dialogue as it was one of her first major Telugu films.
- The climax scene involving a helicopter was filmed in Hyderabad's Ramoji Film City using special sets and visual effects.
- Despite its action-thriller genre, the film includes a subplot critiquing media sensationalism, a theme Puri often explores.
- The soundtrack, composed by Anoop Rubens, features a song that was partly inspired by 1990s Telugu disco music styles.
