→Trivia
- The film was shot almost entirely using virtual production technology, a first for a Tamil horror movie.
- Director Vikas Anand Sridharan previously worked as a visual effects artist on big-budget films before making his directorial debut.
- The movie's concept of a haunting over a video call was partly inspired by the increased use of video conferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Sync had a very limited theatrical release and was primarily promoted and viewed on streaming platforms.
- The car accident scene was filmed using a combination of practical effects and CGI to meet safety standards on a controlled set.
- The film's sound design uses specific audio glitches and distortions to signal the ghost's presence during the call scenes.
- It is one of the few Tamil horror films where the entire main cast shares screen time only through their computer or phone screens.
