Trivia
- The film's title 'Vasco Da Gama' is an ironic reference, as the story has no connection to the historical explorer but uses his name as a symbol for a chaotic journey.
- Director R.G. Krishnan stated the dystopian comedy was partly inspired by observing real-world political and social contradictions.
- The prison set was built from recycled materials and discarded objects to visually represent the film's twisted, wasteful world.
- Actor Muthukumar, who plays the lead, reportedly performed many of his own stunts during the chaotic chase sequences.
- A minor character's costume includes hidden patches referencing classic Tamil comedy films from the 1990s.
- The film's background score uses unconventional instruments like broken glass and modified kitchen tools to create its unsettling sound.
- Despite its thriller elements, the script was originally written as a straight satire before the prison plot was added.
