Trivia

  • The film's title 'Viraaji' is a rarely used Telugu word meaning 'to be brave or heroic', tying to the characters' fight for survival.
  • Director Adhyanth Harsha also wrote the screenplay, drawing inspiration from classic 'whodunit' thrillers and confined-space horror films.
  • The abandoned mental asylum set was built from scratch in Hyderabad, using detailed references from old Indian psychiatric hospitals.
  • Actor Sree Vishnu, who plays the stand-up comic, reportedly improvised some of his dark humour lines during filming.
  • The film's promotional campaign included a real-life escape room experience in Hyderabad themed around the movie's plot.
  • Cinematographer Suresh Boggavarapu used primarily handheld cameras to create a tense, claustrophobic feel throughout the asylum scenes.
  • This was one of the few 2024 Telugu thrillers to release simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil dubbed versions.
