Trivia

  • The film's title 'Boat' was inspired by a real-life incident involving a stranded boat, though the story is fictional.
  • Director Chimbu Deven used a mix of practical water tanks and visual effects to film the ocean scenes safely.
  • Actor Sivakarthikeyan, who plays a lead role, performed many of his own stunts in the water sequences.
  • The movie includes subtle references to classic survival films like 'Life of Pi' and 'The Poseidon Adventure'.
  • It was shot in multiple locations, including studios in Chennai and open waters near the Bay of Bengal.
  • The comedy elements were improvised by the cast during rehearsals to keep the tone light despite the serious setting.
  • The film's budget was higher than usual for a Tamil comedy due to the extensive visual effects required for the sinking scenes.
