→Trivia
- The film was shot in just 18 days, a very short schedule for a feature-length movie.
- Director Raam Ganni also wrote the screenplay, drawing from real-life interrogation room dynamics.
- The movie's poster design intentionally used a minimalist style to focus on the two lead characters.
- It was primarily promoted through social media and word-of-mouth rather than large traditional campaigns.
- The courtroom and police station sets were built from scratch to create a claustrophobic feel.
- The film's plot structure, with its twists, is inspired by classic mystery stage plays.
- It was shot sequentially, meaning the actors performed scenes in the same order as the story.
