Trivia

  • The film was originally planned as a remake of the director's own Malayalam hit 'Memories', but the script was changed completely.
  • Karthi's character name, 'Thambi', is the same as the title of a classic 1988 Tamil film starring his brother, Suriya.
  • The climax scene involving a helicopter was shot in a single day at a remote location in Kerala to maintain secrecy.
  • Composer Sam C.S. used a distinct, minimal score to heighten the thriller atmosphere, unlike his more grand work in 'Vikram Vedha'.
  • This was the first time director Jeethu Joseph worked in Tamil cinema, though he is famous for Malayalam thrillers.
  • The film's production was wrapped in a relatively short schedule to meet a planned release date.
  • A key action sequence was filmed at the Kalpakkam Atomic Power Plant, a rare filming location for Tamil movies.
