- The movie's title 'Buffoon' refers to the traditional Koothu performers, who are often seen as jesters.
- It was shot extensively in real locations around Chennai to capture the feel of the city's underbelly.
- Actor Vaibhav, who plays a lead, learned specific movements and expressions from traditional Koothu artists for his role.
- The film's plot involving artists caught in a drug case draws loose inspiration from real-life incidents of performers being exploited.
