Trivia
- The film was originally planned as a direct-to-video release but was later given a theatrical run.
- It is a remake of the 2003 Kannada film 'Mysore Huli', which was also directed by Ram Gopal Varma.
- Actor J.D. Chakravarthy, who plays the lead, was a frequent collaborator with RGV in the 1990s but this was a rare reunion.
- The movie's title translates to 'Midday Murder', hinting at the public and shocking nature of the crime.
- It was part of a wave of low-budget, experimental thrillers RGV made in the early 2000s outside his usual gangster genre.
- The investigative plot structure was noted for focusing more on procedural tension than action sequences.
- The film's soundtrack was composed by Ravi Shankar, not the famous sitarist but a South Indian film composer.
