- Director Rahul Bhatnagar shot the entire film in just five days using a single location to create a claustrophobic feel.
- The lead actress practiced meditation daily to portray the character's disorientation and mental unraveling more authentically.
- Many of the eerie background sounds were created by manipulating everyday household items recorded on set.
- The film's ambiguous ending was deliberately left open to interpretation, with the director citing classic psychological thrillers as inspiration.
- To stay within budget, several crew members, including the director, also acted in small, non-speaking roles in the film.
