→Trivia
- The film was shot in just 21 days, a very tight schedule for a feature-length movie.
- Director Dayal Padmanabhan also wrote the story, which is a remake of his own 2020 Kannada film 'French Biriyani'.
- Actor Rajendra Prasad, known for his comedic roles, plays a serious police officer in this film, which was a change for him.
- The movie's title refers to a fictional police station, but it was inspired by real-life local station dynamics in Tamil Nadu.
- Despite being a crime thriller, the film includes subtle social commentary on police corruption and youth frustration.
- The climax scene involving the police station was filmed in a single, specially constructed set to maintain continuity.
- This was one of the few 2023 Tamil films to directly adapt a Kannada story, rather than a Telugu or Hindi one.
