Trivia
- The film's title 'Dawood' is a nod to the infamous real-life gangster Dawood Ibrahim, but the story is entirely fictional.
- Director Prashanth Raman reportedly studied classic dark comedies from the Coen brothers for the film's tone.
- The movie was shot extensively in the narrow lanes of North Chennai to capture a raw, authentic atmosphere.
- A key chase sequence was filmed using a specially rigged camera car to get dynamic shots from inside the taxi.
- The script went through over 15 drafts to perfectly balance the crime thriller and comedy elements.
- The film's promotional campaign used retro-style posters inspired by 1990s Tamil pulp fiction novels.
- Composer Sam C.S. created a distinct musical motif using a distorted harmonium to represent the gangster's menace.
