Trivia

- This was the first Tamil film for actress Trisha Krishnan to be shot extensively in Bangkok, Thailand.
- Director Thiru previously worked as an associate director for acclaimed filmmaker Shankar on films like 'Sivaji' and 'Enthiran'.
- The movie's plot involving mistaken identity and memory was compared by some critics to the Hollywood film 'The Bourne Identity'.
- A.R. Rahman composed the film's score, but the songs were by his former associate G.V. Prakash Kumar, marking a notable collaboration shift.
