- The movie was shot primarily in and around a single, real shopping mall in Chennai to create a claustrophobic feel.
- Actress Aishwarya Rajesh performed many of her own stunts for the intense survival sequences.
- The film's score uses minimal background music to heighten the realism of the protagonist's isolated struggle.
- It was one of the early Tamil theatrical releases in 2021 as cinemas reopened after COVID-19 lockdowns.
