Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Vetri' but was changed to 'Asathal' before release.
- The baby in the film was played by twins, a common practice to manage shooting schedules with infants.
- This was one of the few comedies director P. Vasu made before focusing more on thrillers and horror.
- The movie's plot is loosely inspired by the 1994 American film 'Baby's Day Out', but with a very different adult premise.
- Actor Vivek's comedy track was added separately and was not part of the original script's core drama.
- The film released during a crowded season and faced tough competition from other major Tamil films.
- Some scenes were shot in a real courtroom to add authenticity to the legal portions of the story.
