- Actress Anjali, who plays Sindhu, reportedly did not use a body double for the physically demanding escape sequences.
- The film's score uses a rare traditional Telugu folk instrument called the 'Ghatam' to create unsettling sounds.
- It was originally planned as a bilingual project in Telugu and Tamil, but the Tamil version was later shelved.
