- Director Raj Rachakonda reportedly spent over two years researching court documents and meeting survivors to shape the film's stories.
- The film uses three distinct color palettes and aspect ratios to visually separate its three different narrative timelines.
- Much of the dialogue in the Tsunduru massacre segments is delivered in the authentic coastal Andhra dialect to heighten realism.
- A key scene involving the bus burning was filmed using a real, decommissioned state transport bus to create a practical effect.
- The project was initially announced under a different working title before being finalized as '23 (Iravai Moodu)'.
- The film's promotional material deliberately avoided glamorous posters, focusing instead on stark images reflecting the serious themes.
