- The film's title 'Saroja' was inspired by the popular 1970s Tamil song 'Saroja Saman Nikalo' from the film 'Sholay'.
- Director Venkat Prabhu's brother, Premgi Amaren, composed the music and also played the role of Ganesh in the film.
- The film was shot in just 45 days, with many scenes improvised on location to keep the comedy fresh.
- The character 'Jaga' was named after the film's cinematographer, Sakthi Saravanan, whose nickname is Jaga.
- It was one of the first Tamil films to successfully blend a road trip comedy with a kidnapping thriller in a single-night timeline.
- The film's climax and the character of the kidnapped girl were partly inspired by the Hollywood film 'The Disappearance of Alice Creed'.
- Actor S. P. B. Charan, who played Ajay, is the son of legendary playback singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam.
