→Trivia
- The film was shot entirely in Chennai over just 12 days, using a small crew to keep the production lean.
- Director Suvetha Gunasekaran also wrote the screenplay, drawing from observations of real-life awkward reunions.
- The coffee shop setting was a real, functioning cafe, and most scenes were filmed during its actual business hours.
- This was actor Aari's first major role in a romantic film after being known primarily for action and thriller genres.
- The movie's soundtrack features only three songs, which is fewer than typical for a Tamil romance film.
- It was released directly on a streaming platform, bypassing a traditional theatrical run in cinemas.
- The dialogue was largely improvised by the lead actors to make the conversation feel more natural and spontaneous.
