  • The child actress, Nakshatra Nagesh, had to act opposite an empty chair for many scenes with the ghost.
  • It was filmed mostly in a single house location in Kerala to create a claustrophobic feeling.
  • The movie's sound design uses subtle traditional instruments to hint at the grandmother's presence.
  • This was the director's second feature film after his debut in the crime thriller genre.
  • The film had a very limited theatrical release, premiering directly on a streaming platform in some regions.
