→Trivia
- The film's title GR3Y uses the number 3 to represent the letter E, a stylistic choice common in digital and gaming culture.
- Director Nishanth Manisekar previously worked as an assistant director on several big-budget Tamil films before this debut.
- The movie was shot extensively in Chennai and Pondicherry, using specific color-grading to achieve its distinct grey visual tone.
- Actor Aadhav Kannadasan, who plays the lead, had to undergo a special workshop to portray the character's emotional despair realistically.
- The film's soundtrack was composed by a relatively new music director, Karthik Kumar, who blended ambient sounds with traditional instruments.
- GR3Y had a limited theatrical release but gained attention through streaming platforms shortly after its cinema run.
- A key fantasy sequence in the film uses practical effects and minimal CGI, which was a deliberate choice to maintain a gritty feel.
