→Trivia
- The film's underground bunker set was built based on detailed research of real medical facilities used during the Sri Lankan civil war.
- Director T. Kittu reportedly cast several actors with actual medical training to add authenticity to the surgical scenes.
- The movie's title 'Salliyargal' translates to 'Doctors' in English, directly reflecting its central characters.
- It is one of the few Tamil films from 2024 to focus entirely on the perspective of medical personnel in a war zone.
- The score incorporates traditional Tamil folk instruments to contrast the film's modern wartime setting.
- Principal photography took place largely in controlled indoor sets to replicate the claustrophobic bunker environment.
- The script was developed with input from humanitarian aid workers who served in conflict areas.
