→Trivia
- The film's title refers to a fictional village in Tamil Nadu, created specifically for this story.
- Director Nikil Sharan Devarakonda is the son of veteran Telugu filmmaker Devarakonda Srinu, making this his Tamil debut.
- The entire movie takes place over a single night, with real-time sequences adding to the thriller's tension.
- Lead actor Arjun was required to lose significant weight to portray a journalist living in exile and under stress.
- The radio station set was built inside an actual abandoned government building for authenticity.
- This is one of the few Tamil thrillers where the protagonist is a radio jockey, not a police officer, solving the crime.
- The film's climax was shot continuously for 36 hours to maintain the actors' exhausted, frantic state.
