- Director Thiru stated that the idea for the protagonist's narcolepsy condition came from reading about rare medical disorders in newspapers.
- Actress Iniya, who played Meera, was initially hesitant to take on the role due to the intense and emotional scenes required.
- The film's climax was shot in a single, continuous 11-minute take, which was a technical challenge for the crew and actors.
