Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Maran reportedly shot entire nights in actual Chennai blackspots, no permits, using only practical moonlight and neon bleed.

Cultural

The film's release was deliberately shadowed by real Tamil Nadu cyber-blackmail scandals, making its 'don't trust anyone' tagline uncomfortably documentary.
