→Trivia
- The film was shot almost entirely in real locations around Mahabalipuram, with many scenes captured in single takes to maintain a continuous timeline feel.
- Director Aran V previously worked as an assistant director on several big-budget Tamil films before making his directorial debut with this movie.
- The 'Terrorist Tracker' technology shown in the film was inspired by real-life smartphone tracking apps, with the team consulting a tech advisor for basic accuracy.
- Actor Ajmal Ameer, who plays the gangster, is known for villain roles but actually began his career as a hero in Malayalam cinema.
- The comedy scenes involving the character Loki were largely improvised on set, based on the actor's natural timing.
- Despite being a thriller, the film includes subtle references to classic Tamil buddy comedies from the 2000s in its dialogue and situations.
- The entire story takes place within a single day, matching the film's actual shooting schedule which was completed in a compact 25-day period.
