→Trivia
- The film was shot entirely in natural light to reflect the raw, intimate mood of the story.
- It marks Dhanush's directorial debut in a pure drama genre, distinct from his previous action-oriented films.
- The screenplay was reportedly written in just two weeks, inspired by real-life observations of modern relationships.
- The lead actors rehearsed their pivotal phone call scene for over a week to capture its subtle emotional shifts.
- The film's title translates to 'I Who Haven't Seen You,' hinting at the theme of emotional distance despite connection.
- Much of the film takes place in a single apartment setting, creating a claustrophobic feel that mirrors the protagonist's anxiety.
- The original score uses minimal instrumentation, often just a piano, to emphasize the silence and tension in the narrative.
