Trivia

• The film's title 'Tik Tok' is a play on words, referencing both the social media app and the Tamil phrase for 'tick-tock' of a clock, hinting at a time-bound mystery.
• Director R. Kannan initially planned to make a different film but changed the script after being inspired by real-life stories of young entrepreneurs facing unusual challenges.
• The ghost character's makeup took over three hours to apply each day, using special effects prosthetics to create a decaying look without CGI.
• A key comedy scene involving a food delivery mix-up was improvised by the actors during rehearsal and kept in the final script.
• The movie was shot extensively in Chennai's less-filmed industrial areas to give a realistic backdrop to the friends' startup setting.
• It features a cameo by a popular Tamil television host playing himself, in a scene where the friends pitch their business idea on a show.
• The climax sequence was filmed in a single continuous 10-minute take, requiring two days of rehearsals to perfect the actors' movements and camera angles.
