→Trivia
- The film's title 'Border' was inspired by real-life border security challenges, though it is not based on a single true story.
- Director Venkatesh S reportedly drew visual inspiration from gritty Korean thrillers for the film's dark, tense atmosphere.
- Actor Mime Gopi, who plays a key role, learned specific police procedures to make his character more authentic.
- The movie was shot extensively in and around Chennai, using real locations to create a raw, urban feel.
- It was released directly on a streaming platform, bypassing theaters, which was still uncommon for Tamil action films in 2021.
- The background score uses minimal music in many scenes to heighten the suspense and focus on dialogue.
- A minor subplot involving a political angle was trimmed during editing to keep the narrative tightly focused on the investigation.
