- The plot's tsunami backstory is inspired by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which heavily impacted coastal Tamil Nadu.
- The character of the 'demented young charity founder' is a unique antagonist rarely seen in Tamil thrillers.
- Filming locations included actual neighborhoods in Chennai and parts of Thailand for the search sequences.
