Trivia

  • The film's climax was shot in Namibia, making it one of the first major Tamil films to have an extensive schedule there.
  • The character name 'Deva' was originally considered for Suriya's role in the director's previous film, 'Kana Kandaen'.
  • Composer Harris Jayaraj used a unique 'ticking clock' sound motif throughout the background score to heighten the thriller elements.
  • A real-life incident where the crew was briefly detained by local police in Namibia inspired a scene in the movie.
  • The film's success led to a spike in popularity for the song 'Nenjukkul Peidhidum', shot in the picturesque Ladakh region.
  • Actress Tamannaah was initially hesitant to accept the role but was convinced by the strong character arc written for her.
  • The movie's working title was 'Ayan', but it was almost renamed 'Vaada' before the original title was finalized for release.
