Trivia
- The film's title 'Zhagaram' means 'thunder' in Tamil, but it was also released in Telugu as 'Varsham' which means 'rain'.
- Director Krish is better known for big-budget films like 'Gautamiputra Satakarni', making this a smaller, experimental project for him.
- The movie was shot extensively in the dense forests of Kerala, with the crew facing challenges from heavy monsoon rains.
- Lead actor Nandha Durairaj is the son of veteran Tamil director Durairaj, but this film did not lead to major mainstream roles for him.
- Despite being an adventure thriller, the film had a very limited theatrical release and quickly moved to television and streaming platforms.
- The music was composed by S. Thaman, a popular composer in Telugu cinema, which was unusual for a small Tamil film at the time.
- The plot involves a search for a hidden treasure, drawing loose inspiration from local legends about colonial-era hoards in the Western Ghats.
