Trivia
- The film's director Krishna Sankar is a former assistant to director Mani Ratnam, known for his work on 'Ponniyin Selvan'.
- The courtroom sets were built to be intentionally claustrophobic to visually reflect the pressure on the characters.
- Actress Maya Kannappan, who plays the lead attorney, reportedly studied real-life female lawyers in Chennai for her role.
- The score uses a recurring, minimalist piano motif to represent the elusive truth behind the billionaire's death.
- A key plot detail involves the legal concept of 'testamentary capacity', which is central to the will's dispute.
- The production filmed in a real, historic Chennai bungalow to depict the billionaire's secluded mansion.
- This is one of the few recent Tamil crime dramas led by two female protagonists in a non-family oriented story.
