  • Director R. Srinuvasan previously worked as an assistant director for over a decade on big Tamil films like 'Mankatha' and 'Billa II' before making his directorial debut with this movie.
  • The movie was shot extensively in Chennai and Pondicherry, with key chase sequences filmed in the narrow lanes of Old Mahabalipuram to create a gritty, realistic atmosphere.
  • Actor Suresh Gopi, a Malayalam superstar, made a special cameo appearance in the film, marking one of his rare roles in recent Tamil cinema.
  • The film's background score was composed by Sam C.S., who used unconventional instruments like the hang drum and glass harp to create a unique suspenseful sound.

  • The car used in the hit-and-run sequence was a modified vintage Ambassador, chosen for its iconic Indian look and symbolic connection to older generations.
