Trivia
When Subhash falls down onto the final ledge, he was slipping slightly and stopped on the edge, despite the platform being slippery. However, in an interview with the director, it's mentioned that in the real life incident, the belt which Subhash borrowed from his brother had latched on to a rock, which prevented him from slipping further down.

Goofs
In the climactic scene, Abhilash's character (played by Chandu Salim Kumar) unexpectedly appears and exclaims, "Loose adikkada" (which translates to "Pull it loose"). However, this is a glaring mistake in the script because Chandu was not present during the rescue operation and couldn't possibly know that the coir was stuck between the rocks.

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to make a cut to a scene featuring strong language in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.
