  • The movie features a cameo by veteran actor Nasser in a pivotal role as a police officer, though his part is not heavily promoted.
  • Director Boopathy Pandian initially planned a different climax but changed it during filming to increase the action scale.
  • The soundtrack by Srikanth Deva includes a folk-inspired song 'Kadhal Vandhale' that was shot in a single long take at a temple festival.

  • Despite being an action film, it had a delayed release in some regions due to disputes over the distribution rights.
