→Trivia
- The film's title 'Powder' refers to the explosive nature of the five interconnected stories that unfold in a single night.
- Director Vijay Sri G also composed the film's background score, a dual role not common for many directors.
- The movie was shot extensively in and around Chennai, using real night-time locations to create a gritty atmosphere.
- Actor Prasanna, who plays the cop Raghavan NM, is known for thriller roles but this was his first as a central connecting character in a multi-narrative.
- The plot involving tea cans used to transport remains is a darkly creative detail not often seen in Tamil crime thrillers.
- Despite its ensemble cast and complex plot, the film was completed on a relatively modest budget compared to other 2022 releases.
- The film's non-linear narrative structure was inspired by classic multi-story thrillers but set in a very local Tamil context.
