→Trivia
- The film is a Tamil remake of the director Fazil's own 1990 Malayalam horror-comedy 'Akkare Akkare Akkare'.
- Actress Heera Rajagopal, who played the ghost Shivakami, was primarily a Malayalam actress and this was one of her rare Tamil lead roles.
- The movie's plot of a fake ghost romance was considered a novel genre blend in early 90s Tamil cinema, which rarely mixed horror with lighthearted comedy.
- The film's title 'Kilipetchu Ketkava' translates to 'Will You Listen if I Call', referencing the ghost's call to the protagonist.
- Despite the horror theme, the film's music by Ilaiyaraaja was upbeat and romantic, with songs like 'Mannil Indha' becoming popular.
- The haunted house setting was a single major set used throughout, keeping production costs relatively low for the period.
- This film is sometimes noted as an early example of a 'friendly ghost' trope in South Indian cinema before it became more common.
