Trivia
- The film's title 'Nesippaya' is a poetic Tamil term meaning 'my beloved', rarely used in modern cinema titles.
- Director Vishnu Varadhan stated the film blends a classic romance structure with a neo-noir murder mystery, a mix he hadn't attempted before.
- The climax sequence was shot over 12 nights in the narrow lanes of George Town, Chennai, requiring special police permissions.
- A.R. Rahman composed a theme for the lead pair's separation, which was recorded using a rare, vintage veena to evoke melancholy.
- The production faced delays when the original female lead exited, and Diya's role was recast just weeks before principal photography.
- A key action sequence involving a chase on a moving train was filmed using a custom-built set and visual effects to ensure safety.
- The film's promotional campaign included hidden clues about the murder mystery in its posters and teasers for engaged fans to solve.
