→Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Julie' but was renamed 'Julie Ganapathi' to avoid confusion with another Tamil film.
- Balu Mahendra shot the entire film in a single, real bungalow in Chennai to create a claustrophobic feel.
- Actress Laila, who played Julie, had to learn to play the violin for her role as a musician.
- The film's background score uses a theremin, an electronic instrument often used in old horror movies.
- This was one of the few horror films directed by Balu Mahendra, who was better known for realistic dramas.
- The movie did not perform well commercially, which led to limited theatrical screenings across Tamil Nadu.
- The character Tenkasi is named after the real town, which is also the hometown of the film's writer.
