Trivia
- The film was shot in just 15 days, a tight schedule typical of low-budget horror productions.
- The director, Shalini Balasundaram, is also a trained classical dancer, which influenced some of the film's visual movements.
- The movie's sound design was highlighted by critics as a key element in building its tense atmosphere.
- It was one of the few Tamil horror films released directly on a streaming platform during the pandemic period.
- The lead actress, Srushti Dange, had to perform many of her own stunts and reaction shots in confined spaces.
- The story draws loosely on real-world reports of 'nanny cams' capturing strange events, a popular online horror topic.
- Despite its horror genre, the film's plot centers on the protagonist's psychology background, a less common approach in Tamil cinema.
