→Trivia
- The director Vidhun Chandragupthan previously worked as an assistant director on several big-budget Tamil action films before making his debut with this movie.
- The film's title was changed during production from an initial working name to better reflect its crime and heist themes.
- Principal photography took place largely in Chennai and included night shoots at a real industrial warehouse to depict the smuggling scenes.
- A minor subplot involving a corrupted police officer was reportedly inspired by real-life news stories about smuggling rackets in South India.
- The movie features a cameo appearance by a popular Tamil comedian in a serious role, which was a departure from his usual image.
- Despite being a crime thriller, the soundtrack includes a single romantic song that was added to broaden the film's appeal to family audiences.
- The climax sequence involving the failed smuggling mission was shot using special rigs and took over a week to complete due to its complex staging.
