The first film of Director Sriram Raghavan shot in two different languages, Hindi and Tamil. Many of the actors remain the same for both versions, but a few characters (Yadhoom Uncle, Ronnie, and the police officers) are played by different actors.
Sriram Raghavan plays a perfect tribute to his fav crime thriller movie Jewel thief by using the same background music in few of the important scenes of the movie Rishi Vij
Saif Ali Khan was first considered for role of playing Albert, played by Vijay Sethupathi in the movie.
Two beautiful R D Burman melodies from 'Parinda' and 'Raja Rani' are heard in the background scores of this film. Such nostalgic homages to Hindi cinema classics are very common in Sriram Raghavan cinema.
Vijay Sethupathi's first lead role in Hindi film as a hero.
