Trivia

- The movie was shot primarily in Hyderabad over a tight schedule of about 40 days.
- A key action sequence involving a car was filmed at the old airport road in Begumpet, a location rarely used in recent films.
- The film's plot draws loose inspiration from the 2015 Hindi film 'Drishyam', but reworks it into a father-daughter crime thriller.
- Despite being a crime thriller, the soundtrack includes a romantic song composed by Mani Sharma, which was a deliberate tonal shift.
- The movie faced multiple release delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic before finally premiering on a streaming platform.
