Trivia

  • 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.
