  • It was the first Indian film to use digital intermediate technology for its entire color grading process.
  • A.R. Rahman composed the score, but the film's songs were unusually few and placed only in the background.
  • The movie's release was delayed because of real-life political tensions and controversies over its subject.
  • Kamal Haan funded the film largely himself after some producers backed out due to its sensitive theme.
  • The end credits include a rare disclaimer stating the film is a work of fiction, not historical fact.
