Trivia
- The film's title 'Mirugaa' means 'beast' in Tamil, referring to both the tiger and the main character.
- Director J. Parthiban also wrote the screenplay and played the lead role of the serial killer.
- The movie was shot in a single, continuous long take, a rare and challenging technique for a feature film.
- It was filmed in a real, large bungalow with a garden, which was designed to look like a forest for the tiger scenes.
- The film had a very short theatrical run and quickly moved to streaming platforms.
- Parthiban stated the story was inspired by classic tales of greed and betrayal, but set in a modern, confined space.
- Special effects were used to create the tiger, as using a real tiger for the scenes was not possible.
