→Trivia
- The film uses Unreal Engine animation to create its ghostly VR sequences, a first for a mainstream Tamil movie.
- Director Jean Moses previously worked as an assistant director on the 2022 Tamil film 'Coffee with Kadhal'.
- The story was partly inspired by real-life struggles of amateur cricket teams in Chennai finding places to play.
- It blends horror and comedy, a genre mix less common in Tamil cinema compared to pure horror or comedy.
- The 'prohibited factory' set was built from scratch in a studio to control the lighting and spooky effects.
- Some humorous scenes were improvised by the cast during filming to keep the tone light despite the thriller plot.
- The title 'Pei Kathai' translates to 'Ghost Story', directly telling audiences the film's core theme.
