- Actor Jayam Ravi performed many of his own stunts, including scenes hanging from moving cranes.
- The movie's plot is loosely inspired by real-life reports of smuggling and corruption in Indian ports.
- A special set replicating a port area was built in a studio to film complex action sequences safely.
