Trivia
- The film's title is a play on words, referencing both the lead character's name and the Tamil slang 'bottle' for alcohol.
- Director Dinakaran Sivalingam reportedly visited rehabilitation centers to research the experiences of recovering addicts.
- The movie was shot in a condensed schedule, primarily in real locations around Chennai to enhance its raw, realistic feel.
- A key emotional scene involving a broken family photograph was improvised by the actors during the final take.
- The film's soundtrack uses minimal background score, relying more on ambient sounds to build tension and loneliness.
- It marks the second collaboration between the lead actor and director Dinakaran, following a previous critically acclaimed short film.
- The poster design subtly incorporates a shattered glass effect within the letter 'O' of 'Bottle' to symbolize Radha's broken life.
