→Trivia
- The film's title 'Paakaati Po' is a playful Tamil phrase meaning 'Go away, look away', hinting at the love triangle's theme of avoidance and attraction.
- Director Kathir Raven S also served as the cinematographer, giving the film a distinct visual style with natural lighting and close-up shots.
- This was actress Anjali Nair's debut in a lead role after appearing in supporting parts in films like 'Kanaa' and '96'.
- The movie was shot entirely in Chennai over 25 days, using mostly real office and cafe locations to keep costs low.
- A subplot involving a corporate team-building exercise was partly improvised by the actors to add spontaneous humor.
- The soundtrack by Sam C.S. includes a song with lyrics adapted from a classic Tamil poem about unspoken love.
- Despite being a 2020 release, the film had a very limited theatrical run due to the pandemic and found most of its audience on streaming platforms.
